Testimonials

“iWave is so user-friendly and onboarding was easy and smooth.”

"iWave is the first tool I use when researching a new individual, corporation or foundation. It’s fast, easy and very thorough. The control I get with iWave screening greatly reduces my clean-up afterward (which is so awesome) and the individual tabs for each search helps me drill down quick and easy. There’s so much I can learn on the source of wealth and behaviours’ of our prospects, iWave really helps makes our strategies incredibly solid – which is vital when meeting new individuals."

"Using iWave was my only way of building my list of 2,500 highly qualified prospects, specifically connected to our mission. iWave’s training and support team allowed me to grab and grasp the power I never realized I had. If I weren’t fundraising and doing the most meaningful work of my life in my current position, I would be selling iWave. I believe in the product that much."

“iWave has become a normal part of our process. It has increased our professionalism and our opportunities for success.”

"I used iWave for the first time and, after a bit of research, submitted a grant application to a foundation for funding consideration. We had never applied to this particular foundation before and were excited to receive notification that we had been awarded $10,000 for a capital project. I probably would not have applied to this particular foundation had I not had the benefit of iWave’s detailed funder profiles. Thanks so much!"

"The biggest benefit we’ve seen from using iWave over the last year is the ability to do more in-house."

"iWave is more accurate, more user-friendly, and more versatile. I recommend iWave to everyone I speak with."

“With iWave, I am able to take a broader look at the human portfolio, not just the numbers, but actual connections and relationships”

"The very first time I used iWave, I found one of our corporate sponsors was giving $7500 to us but was giving much more to other charities. I asked them for $15,000 and they said “yes!” And they kept giving at that level for the next year (and the next, and the next…). I was able to get back more than my investment in iWave after one month."

"I can screen 200 alumni in a certain area across all kinds of datasets and pinpoint 50 who came back above a certain threshold—that takes half an hour."

"Thank you for such a terrific product. iWave is the first and sometimes the only resource I use when researching a prospect. It’s user-friendly, clear, concise and so much better than any other product out there. Thank you."

"iWave is more comprehensive, easier to query, and faster than other similar sources that we have used."

"Once again, iWave is able to offer a quick, effective solution for my prospect research needs. The fact that I can instantly search for an industry and find relevant contacts (who also have high net worth and are philanthropic!) saves me and my team countless hours. I’ve never had a prospect research tool that is so customized to the exact needs of a fundraiser. I will sing iWave’s praises for as long as I’m in this industry!"

"The platform is easy to use, the program overall is intuitive and easy to learn, there is a host of training material, and it easily integrates with Salesforce (which we use). The speed that we can move data from iWave into Salesforce is excellent. The iWave report summaries are also excellent, providing a good mix between high-level info and particular targeted data."

“The ability to find both broad stroke overviews and granular details under one login is a significant point of differentiation for iWave from other research software options.”

I am so happy to have one software to go to for corporate, individual and foundation research that is all encompassing and very easy to use. The best part of it is the customer support that comes along with it, there is always someone there to help and advance our work.

"As a non-profit organization in the heritage sector, iWave has proven invaluable in identifying exciting prospects by assessing the capacity of corporate, foundation, and individual donors.

“One of the best parts about iWave is how easy it is to use and how quickly it can give us an answer to how much capacity, affinity, and propensity a donor has to give.”

"We’ve screened a couple of lists including one membership list and used [Multi-Lens Modeling] to see if there were any members with high capacity we didn’t know about, so we could target them for the quiet phase of our capital campaign. The ability to see different ratings based on our capital campaign [goals] versus annual giving is a real difference maker. I really like being able to adjust each [model] and see all of them side by side."

Ultimately, this helps us accomplish more in service to the families of Marines and Navy Corpsmen."

"I have found iWave's screening services to be extremely useful in qualifying donors - the philanthropic information with active links back to source documents is top notch. While I'm quite proficient in research and profiling, when the information I'm looking at is not completely clear, their support is stellar, responsive, knowledgeable."

"iWave has helped me every minute of every day. It’s my primary source of information."

"We recently started a $40 million capital campaign. With iWave, I was able to gather and verify critical wealth and philanthropic information about a prospect that led to a $10 million gift from that individual. iWave’s research platform helped us get 25% of the way to our goal with that one prospect alone."

“iWave having different data partnerships allows us to see prospects through different lenses. We love how robust and easy-to-use iWave is!”

"I love the Insights feature and especially the Hidden Gems. I used to spend hours doing research to try and uncover these individuals but now iWave does it for me. Sometimes I recognize the names of the Hidden Gems but with many of them, I had no idea they had capacity and were philanthropic."

“I could not live without it! Compared to our other paid subscriptions, I find that iWave is by far the best value for the money.”

“I did not know the individual, I would not have known his capacity, we didn’t have specific notes on him, and it was just through iWave we learned about the capacity and other information, gave the additional attention, and a cheque showed up at our door”

"We started by screening a segment of our contacts to highlight untapped potential of current members and low level donors, and within two months of starting our subscription we uncovered 1 billion dollars of capacity in just 1% of our database."

"I have been using iWave for a few months but only just recently took advantage of iWave screening to screen the parents of our incoming students. I was blown away by how easy it was to upload my data and to quickly see results. Not only has it helped me to identify some great US prospects, but it has opened up a whole new world of prospects in Canada. I have found some real hidden gems that I would have possibly never found without an individual search on the hundreds of them. I cannot state enough how invaluable this product is to me and to the work I do. A win for everyone in my office!"

"iWave is my go-to resource for research on individual prospects and donors. Not only does it kick-start my research on key people, but it is also highly useful for identifying new prospects, such as when we are planning events. I have always appreciated iWave’s leadership in our field which has resulted in my professional growth as a researcher and allowed me to continually raise the bar and deliver better results."

“The intuitive nature of iWave is, perhaps, the best feature. Think it, click it, see it! Plus, it is so much more affordable than some of the other options I have used in my many years of prospect and donor research.”

“As a cause-based organization, we don’t have a robust, built-in constituency. We have to do a lot of prospecting, and that’s where iWave comes in.”

The iWave team is constantly trying to improve the product and that is something I can really get behind."

Most of my requests were returned within the day, sometimes within a one hour window. Fantastic!"

It is extremely user-friendly, with a great interface, and awesome customer service. Instead of having to check multiple annual reports, I can conduct a quick search on iWave. Additionally, I can gain insight into a company’s philanthropic activity. iWave has helped me verify prospects and identify individuals I wouldn’t have otherwise found."

The simple interface, the variety of research tools, design, and handy features make this a time and money saver. And best of all – the data is always fresh and accountable. I recommend iWave to all my colleagues!"
