Testimonials

"It is so helpful to filter by labels in iWave Dashboards to see a high-level overview of each development officer's portfolio. It's easy to see everything and pick out an area that I want to drill down into. I especially like the iWave Insights visuals, which help us easily identify which donors may need some extra research/attention (Hidden Gems) and which ones we should consider rolling off the portfolio (Not Now Prospects) to make room for new potential high capacity donors."

Its user-friendly interface, tools, and reports make it easy for us to find the information we need to support our team and grow our impact. It’s especially useful for uncovering new potential partners in our mission and refining how we can best steward our existing partners. Ultimately, this helps us accomplish more in service to the families of Marines and Navy Corpsmen."

"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!"

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."

Katherine Scott

"iWave is my go-to resource for prospect research. Not only is it a one-stop-shop when I have a request with a quick turnaround, but it is one of the only places I can consistently uncover email addresses. The interface is fantastic and nimble. I have been using this product for over three years and in that time they have rolled out a number of significant data enhancements. The iWave team is constantly trying to improve the product and that is something I can really get behind."

Mallory Lass

"This tool is such an analysis timesaver! We can see what we've already accomplished and what we need to focus on next. iWave's dashboards give us a view of our constituents that we're not able to get in our CRM. I share the dashboards with my leadership and they love the visuals."

John Hermans

Director of Advancement Research
University of Toronto

"For me, what makes iWave unique is the ease of using the interface, the speed at which I get results back and the efficiency it provides.  I use iWave for screening portfolios, qualification pools and looking for new leads. I’m really impressed by how quickly I can get that data back, and I am fully confident that I can trust it.  For the cost, iWave is invaluable. We’re a public institution and work within parameters of annual, fluctuating legislative and administrative support for resources. iWave delivers the best ROI for our needs!"
