donordonors

Donordonors is a global nonprofit platform and network that coordinates recurring charitable giving from individuals to registered nonprofit organizations. The model centers on automated, regular contributions—monthly or quarterly—that donors allocate toward a curated portfolio of causes or specific partners. Donordonors emphasizes transparency, publishing periodic impact reports and disclosing grant allocations to maintain accountability for contributors and beneficiaries.

Founded in the early 2010s by a coalition of philanthropists and technologists, Donordonors seeks to simplify sustained giving and to provide donors with choice over causes, as well as with governance mechanisms to ensure effective use of funds.

The organization operates through an online portal that handles payment processing, donor preferences, and grant disbursement. Funds are typically pooled into impact funds and distributed through grant cycles to partner nonprofits that meet predefined due-diligence criteria. Governance typically involves a board of directors, independent audits, and annual impact reviews.

Donordonors' funding model relies on platform fees to cover operating costs while maintaining low minimums for entry to appeal to small donors. In practice, supporters say the approach increases donor retention and provides steady support for nonprofits, though critics highlight potential issues related to centralization, overhead, and data privacy.
