Overall Satisfaction with 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.

Pros

  • Real estate
  • Other donations
  • Scoring

Cons

  • Ways to report errors in information
  • Smaller functionality package for smaller organizations
  • Add in family relations section
  • List known LLCs
  • Understanding donors passions at start of relationship which increased engagement
  • 15% more annual HNW donors
It is easy to understand and user friendly. Even the upload format for screenings is simple. You are able to alter scoring levels and layers to tailor to your organization's hierarchy.
The new color scheme for Kindsight is a bit harder to see but there is workarounds by using an extension within your web browser for that.
Kindsight has better real estate data than DonorSearch and more accurate past donation history.

Yes

Did Kindsight iWave live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Kindsight iWave go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Kindsight iWave again?

Yes

Kindsight had the best history of philanthropy and most accurate real estate of all products we have tried. They focus their business on larger companies and it works great for our small organization, but we do not need many of the types of tools they market. We tend to cross check data with another service at all times to obtain a more robust profile. Kindsight tends to have the most accurate data.
