Data Enrichment Services

As your prospect and donor pool grows, it gets more and more difficult to keep in touch with each individual. You’re up against old addresses, bad phone numbers, missing donor information, and the list goes on. You need this information to accurately research prospects, invite potential donors to events, ensure direct marketing appeals get to the intended recipients, thank donors, and more. The last thing you want to do is waste time and money on efforts that lead to dead ends because you have bad information.

EmailFinder
With an estimated 400 million people online worldwide, email is not only here to stay, it has become a way of life. The good news is that email is one of the most effective and low-cost direct marketing vehicles you can use for letters, newsletters, and promotions. The bad news is that many of the older records in your database may not contain email addresses, and it can be hard to keep up with changes to the email addresses you do have. Where does that leave you? With EmailFinder, there’s no problem. We can get you the email addresses that your donors and prospects use most often and make sure they want to hear from you via email.

PeopleFinder
What do you do about those donors and prospects you’ve lost touch with? PeopleFinder uses known fields in your constituent records (as little as name and last city of residence) to find them. This locator service is easy to use and seamlessly integrates with The Raiser's Edge. PeopleFinder helps you by:
  • Searching over 1,700 databases (billions of records from credit agencies, utilities, and court records)
  • Generating a ranked list of the most likely candidates that match your criteria (other data services require you to sift through dozens of possible matches)
  • Delivering results that are easily integrated into The Raiser's Edge
