Kindsight iWave

We utilize Kindsight for prospect researching for higher education. We appreciate the depth of data they provide with high accuracy as well as key points such as listing out which other organizations the individuals have supported in the past with details such as amounts and dates if available. This gives us a better understanding of the probability of philanthropy as it correlates to our organization.

I utilize Kindsight iWave to conduct research or find more information about a certain person, company, or a company's other business locations outside of its headquarters. I work professionally in corporate fundraising, so I love the feature about being able to see a company's philanthropic giving, giving to certain industries/organizations, and even the level of that giving. Additionally, I like that I can find an individual person I'm trying to contact, and even though I don't have a lot of personal information to type-in and find that person within Kindsight iWave, I can use other auxilliary information to track down that person, find his/her email and title, and then follow up if I want. It's a great tool and is super helpful in research and prospecting.

• Ability to identify 5 more "warm" prospects for outreach
• Ability to use tools to research philanthropic giving from company prospects
• Putting trust in a person's listed email, title, and tenure at their currently listed company

Kindsight iWave’s comprehensive database provides access to a vast amount of information on potential donors, helping us to make informed decisions about who to target for major gifts. This wealth of data significantly streamlines the prospect research process, saving valuable time and resources. We use it as our main resource to verify home ownership, board memberships and philanthropy, among others.

• Found property that did not show up in other places
• Comes up with a more complete list of an individual's outside donations
• Although they give relationship connections under a created profile, it is not as exhaustive as other resources.

I use Kindsight iWave to identify prospects by searching for their real estate and giving. It is my best source to start my search on where their philanthropy is and the values of homes. I use it for all the other various things they offer but those are the two biggest things I go to iWave for. And those two things are probably the most important when trying to rate a prospect so it's a great source.

• It saves valuable time researchers don't have to look up each 990 to find philanthropy.
• It gives one simple place to find stock transactions and filter them by what type you're looking for.
• I can quickly prospect people by searching their address and seeing how much it's worth and moving on quickly if it has a low value.

We used it as a wealth screening tool. We would screen our current database of donors and donors we'd accrue over the year. We'd attempt to find new people who would be interested in giving to our organization but that was not successful.

• I found no new donors from using this product.
• I learned very little about current donors from using this product.
