Donor Research Services

Tools and services to support your major gift strategy

Jump to:

Wealth screens evaluate a donor’s potential financial capability to give to an organization. They are a valuable part of major donor cultivation because they can give you important insight into how much a donor could give to your organization. They also illuminates which donors you should focus on, ensuring that you’re using your valuable time on the right people.

Once you’ve performed a wealth screening, you can also take it a step further and produce a donor profile to gather additional information to inform your next steps. These verification profiles will provide you with information and confidence to determine a specific ask amount.

With INN’s service offerings, you can perform wealth screenings on your own with a subscription to DonorSearch or submit donor files for our team to screen for you. You can also take advantage of a discounted service to produce donor profiles with our preferred vendor, Apsire Research Group, LLC.
