Our Prospect Research Services
When you need to learn more about a prospective donor, Donor Facts will provide your fundraising team with the information you need to create successful prospect cultivation strategies. We can offer your fundraising team with thorough analyses on any of your prospects. Or if you simply need to know a specific piece of information (e.g., contact information, employer data, charitable giving data, etc.), our clients can just give us a call and we'll provide you the requested information within the day - at no charge.
Depending on your specific prospect research needs, we offer two standard types of research profiles. (It generally takes 5 business days for Donor Facts to process and complete any requests for research.)
Basic Prospect Research Profile
Our basic prospect research profiles are typically two pages each and contain a basic summary account of your prospective donor's background. Depending on the size of your development operations, basic profiles are recommended when cultivating any $25,000+ prospect. Specific information found in the basic profiles include:
- Home address and phone number
- Date of Birth
- Relatives (spouse and children)
- Education
- Current career and business information
- Basic wealth summary (compensation, securities, real estate, etc.)
- Philanthropy (board memberships, charitable giving, etc.)
