A Donor Profile is an account page in the Fundraising Philanthropy and Partnerships app that is customized to contain pertinent financial, demographic, and relationship information on a donor or prospect. This comprehensive view helps fundraisers understand their donors. The financial and demographic information is pulled from the Contact Profile object, and the relationship information is built using an Actionable Relationship Center graph. You can customize both person accounts (for individual donors) and business accounts (for households and partners).

Note Person accounts were not built to work with Nonprofit Success Pack and therefore, are not supported for use with NPSP. If Person Accounts are not already enabled in your org, don't enable them. Once you turn on Person Accounts in your organization, you can't turn the feature off. See NPSP and Person Accounts in [NPSP FAQ](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sfdo.npsp_faq.htm&language=en_US).
