The Journal in DonorElf has helped me so much because it keeps everything so organized. My progress is easy to track and my next steps are clear. It's a joy to use. It's functionally and aesthetically pleasing. And it makes it incredibly easy for my supervisor and my coaches to check in and see my progress as well as what needs shoring up in my workflow.

"When I first considered using DonorElf I was concerned about the cost. I didn't know if it would be worth it, but I quickly found out that DonorElf made my life so much easier that the monthly cost was so worth it. I particularly like that it tells me when people don't pay or are late. And I love how user friendly it is."

Why You'll Love DonorElf
When you’re a missionary raising your own financial support, you have a lot of work to stay on top of your support account. Your sending organization already provides you an online portal or emails you reports so you know who your donors are and their gifts. But you know there is much more for you to keep track of than just gifts and donor addresses, and that’s why you need DonorElf.
The chart below shows why missionaries need more than just emailed reports or an online staff portal.

For all the features mentioned above and more, there’s an easy monthly cost of $12.95 per user/month which goes towards maintaining and improving the platform.
There’s no cost to setup and no long-term commitment. You are free to cancel anytime you want, however, we think you’ll quickly see the value of DonorElf for your missional goals.

Frequently Asked Questions
Pricing Questions
We would love to offer DonorElf for free but that’s simply not possible. There are expenses for us to continue to improve, support, and host DonorElf.
However, we truly believe that DonorElf will quickly pay for itself in saved time for your mission organization staff and missionaries.
We implement DonorElf on your system for free and there are no long-term contracts.
You start paying once your accounting system has been integrated and your missionaries are using our software.
Because there are no long-term contracts, you can cancel DonorElf at any point.
No, there is no cost to the organization to get setup DonorElf and offer it to their missionaries. We also do most of the hard work of integrating your accounting system with DonorElf, so it won’t require much time from your office staff.
Great question! We do not require that all missionaries sign up within an organization. Your organization can get setup on DonorElf and make it optional for the missionaries to use.
However, the organization pricing will not be available, and each missionary will be charged the individual rate of $12.95 a month.
DonorHub (which used to be called Tnt Data Server) is a piece of software that a mission organization can setup to allow their missionaries to automatically download their donors and gifts into DonorElf. That way gifts don’t have to manually be entered into DonorElf. We have a list of all the organizations that have DonorHub servers, and during the signup process we’ll let you know if your organization has a DonorHub server.
DonorElf integrates with your organization’s accounting system for no additional charge, so an organization doesn’t need DonorHub, but if they already have it then it can be used.
Product Questions
DonorElf doesn’t replace your accounting systems, rather it complements it.
The features of our system provides information, analytics, and reporting that your accounting system was never built to do.

- eTapestry

If your accounting system isn’t listed above, then contact us and we’ll work with you to add its integration with DonorElf.
Since we are not an accounting system, we don’t process transactions—online or offline. However, because we’re integrated with your accounting software you simply only need to input donation information in there once and it will be uploaded to DonorElf for your missionaries to see.
DonorElf provides the same level of security as bank websites do. All the data transmissions over the Internet are secured with a 256-bit SSL certificate, and a 256-bit AES Cipher-Block Chaining encryption algorithm is used to encrypt personal information in the database. This is the same encryption the government uses for top-secret documents. So you can rest easy knowing your data is secure with DonorElf.
Yes, most of the time it can. One of the great things about DonorElf is its ability to consolidate information from disparate systems like donation processing software and accounting software. It will bridge the gap for your office staff as well as your missionaries to provide them what they need, when they need it.
However, around 75% of our organizations that have a separate donation processing system only upload information from the donation processing system. They have found the expense information in the accounting system isn’t as important for the missionaries to see in DonorElf. So you can decide whether or not you want to combine both systems in DonorElf.
Funny you should ask.
I don’t know about you, but I didn’t like cleaning my room as a kid. My mom used to say to me “It’s not like elves are going to come do it for you.”
She was right. No elves ever came to help me out like they did in the book, “The Elves and the Shoemaker”.
DonorElf, however, will help missionaries and simplify the process of “cleaning their room” err…managing their ministry partner relations. We make it easy for missionaries to manage all their donor relations in one place so it begins to feel like “elves” are taking care of your affairs.

It’s our goal to make DonorElf as easy-to-use as possible, so we believe there’s a very small learning curve to becoming comfortable with our support. In addition, we offer amazing onboarding support to make the transition seamless.
This depends on several factors, but on average it can take anywhere from a week to a few months.
If we’ve already integrated with your accounting software, then we can often perform the integration within a week and then your pilot users can start testing it out.
If we haven’t integrated DonorElf with your accounting software yet, then it can take a couple months.
A more accurate estimate can be given during the Discovery phase leading up to the onboarding process. (Click here to see our proven 5-step onboarding process)
We can bring in hundreds at a time. We usually want to pilot the system with a few key users in the office and field first.
From there, we can flip the switch and bring on all of your missionaries at once. We can can also do a tiered roll-out where we bring in a group of missionaries at a time. We’ll work with you to determine the best approach.
DonorElf has successfully onboarded and supported several large organizations (250+ missionaries) that started out with the same concerns. With that said, we are happy to provide references of other large organizations who are enjoying DonorElf. Just contact us and we’ll pass the information along.
We have the flexiblity to offer a la carte pricing that allows missionaries to choose if they want to use DonorElf (with a minimum of 3). We strongly encourage entire organizations to jump on board so there aren’t fragmented processes from varying methods/tools used across an organization.
We always want to make your life easier 🙂
Our goal is to make the information your missionaries need available to them wherever they are in the world, which is why our entire platform is mobile responsive to work on all devices. If your missionaries in the field are able to track their accounts using your current software or emailed reports, they should be able to use DonorElf.
Absolutely, importing from TntConnect into DonorElf is included with all plans.
