Prospect
Research Online (PRO), by iWave Information Systems is a subscription based,
cost effective, easy to use Web research tool that helps nonprofits identify
and qualify potential funders in 3 key areas: Individual Giving, Corporate Giving
and Foundation Giving.
We have been working with Emily Shoemaker at the Foundation for California Community
Colleges about the possibility of making Prospect Research Online (PRO) available
to interested colleges. We created this page to highlight some of the useful
features that PRO offers that will assist your college in raising additional
funding. We would encourage you to view the recorded webinar. It's the best
way to see for yourself, exactly how PRO works, and the type of information
you will uncover from it. If you feel your college would benefit from having
access to PRO to assist with your fundraising efforts, please contact Emily
Shoemaker at the Foundation to express your interest. You can email Emily at
eshoemaker@foundationccc.org
Jeremy Davies, our California Community Colleges Senior Account Manager, is also available should you wish to take a one on one demonstration. Feel free to contact Jeremy Davies with any questions or to schedule a demo at jdavies@iwave.com or by calling 1-800-655-7729 Ext. 22.

- 1. PRO will immediately save you valuable time on researching prospects that have information available online. An extensive ZoomInfo profile would take you or your staff probably a couple of hours or more to compile using regular search engines such as Google, etc. ZoomInfo also caches information that is no longer online, which would be even more valuable to you considering the scope of your research and the age of some of the alumni.
- 2. NOZA will help you determine the capacity for some of your potential donors by revealing a portion of their giving history. Our subscribers often tell us stories of planning to ask for a gift and then "upping" their ask depending on the data they discover in NOZA (and High Net Worth Alert or Prospects of Wealth). Just one successful ask at the "appropriate" amount can justify the investment in PRO.
- 3. PRO is used by some schools for student recruitment purposes for students as well. A couple of new students as a result of PRO could be another benefit to subscribing to PRO.
- 4. We currently track "Money in Motion" events including Insider Transactions
in High Net Worth Alert.
With email alerts, you can choose to be notified when some or all of these prospects sell stock, get promoted, etc. This may be a good list for naming opportunities or special events. It would also be very effective in tracking any alum, past supporters, etc you can find in High Net Worth Alert. Our subscribers love being notified of stock disposals! As you know, timing can be extremely important in an ask and there is no better time to ask when a prospect makes a significant disposal of stock and may actually be looking for a way to reduce his/her tax bill. - 5. Many of our subscribers use GiftPlus Online to identify eligible matching gifts using the "give for a previous cycle" criteria which will enable you to double or even triple some of your existing gifts that you have already received. You may also wish to target corporate matching companies and their employees in your future fundraising efforts as they represent "double dip" potential for you.
- 6. Grant Explorer contains a significant amount of grant information for Higher Education Institutions (NTEE Code - B40).
