PHILADELPHIA, Pa. — October 23, 2026 — SofterWare, Inc., the parent company of DonorPerfect fundraising software, has earned nine 2026 Top Workplaces awards from Energage. SofterWare also appears on the Philadelphia region’s Top Workplaces 2026 list, presented with The Philadelphia Inquirer.
Top Workplaces awards are based entirely on confidential feedback from a company’s own employees. For SofterWare, that feedback tells the story of a team that shows up every day to help more than 11,000 nonprofits raise money, save time, and grow their community of supporters.
SofterWare earned 2026 Top Workplaces awards in nine categories:
- Technology
- Innovation
- Purpose & Values
- Professional Development
- Compensation & Benefits
- Employee Well-Being
- Employee Appreciation
- Work-Life Flexibility
- Remote Work
Energage, the company that runs the Top Workplaces program, surveys employees about pay and benefits, direction, leadership, meaningfulness, and appreciation. Organizations earn recognition only when their employees’ combined feedback beats national benchmarks drawn from about 30 million employees over 20 years. There are no judges or outside nominations: employees are the sole deciders.
When employees thrive, nonprofits thrive
SofterWare’s team builds and supports DonorPerfect, the fundraising platform used by more than 75,000 fundraisers who have raised over $100 billion. That sense of purpose keeps SofterWare employees with the company. The average SofterWare employee stays longer than eight years, and long-tenured staff bring deep product knowledge and lasting relationships to every customer they support.
SofterWare’s culture traces back to 1981, when co-founders Nathan Relles and Doug Schoenberg started SofterWare with a people-first approach to leadership. SofterWare has remained 100% employee-owned, answering to its clients rather than outside investors. SofterWare’s values, from “delight customers” to “care and give back,” guide decisions from product design to office culture.
“What always strikes me about our team is how deeply they care about the nonprofits we serve,” said Lauren Sheehan, President of DonorPerfect. “When we give them the support, flexibility, and room to grow that they need to thrive, that energy flows directly into helping our clients raise more, build lasting donor relationships, and fulfill their missions.”
