source: https://developer.mastercard.com/donations/documentation/use-cases/manage-donor/retrieve_donor/index.md

## Overview {#overview}

The **Get Donor** endpoint retrieves the current profile details and personal information stored in the system for a single donor, such as the name, email address, and phone number. To ensure and present accurate and up-to-date information, read the donor data using the `Get Donor` endpoint.

To fetch donor profile details, provide the unique `donorId` that Mastercard Donate generated while creating the donor. A successful request returns the `HTTP 200 OK` status and a JSON response body with the donor object, if you provide a valid `donorId` in the request.
