Satisfied Clients' Testimonials

At DonorSearch™ we pride ourselves on making sure our clients are happy and satisfied with our product. Here are some of the reviews, those we have worked with have shared with us.

"When I think of DonorSearch™, I think of superior customer service and a team that is dedicated to providing the best prospects out there. ProspectView and its unique screening process is not only the most affordable prospect tool available, but it also delivers the best results- one of the main reasons we chose to go with DonorSearch™. After we submitted the test file for free screening and received our results, I knew that we needed this tool to continue our research. I love the fact that we have access to the single largest repository of philanthropic information publicly available. The combination of DonorSearch™’s databases, especially NOZA and FEC data, and its and millions of records have given us irreplaceable insight into our potential prospect’s willingness to give. If you are considering a new prospect tool, choose DonorSearch™, you won’t regret it!"

Marc Cregan, Director of Advancement, Xaverian Brothers High School

"I used DonorSearch™ in a prior job and could not live without it when I came here to OSI-Baltimore. It was a no-brainer that I would have to have this at my fingertips every day. We have absolutely used this to help determine the best level gift to request. We have received several new gifts including two at $100,000, one at $250,000 and one at $500,000 – Our DonorSearch™ work definitely helped guide us to make those request. We also really appreciated the profile screen on our donor list. It yielded a couple of big surprises that led us to move those donors to a higher position on our prospect list."

Tricia Rubacky, Director of Development, Open Society Insititute-Baltimore

"For years my independent school Advancement shop has been searching for the 'perfect' prospect research tool - one that will provide the biggest bang for our buck. Finally, we've found it! DonorSearch™ provides us with anytime access to giving history for both US and Canadian prospects. Best of all, on an annual basis DonorSearch™ allows us to screen 1000 of our 'suspects' (in one fell-swoop!) which has consistently led us to bump these folks into 'prospects'! DonorSearch™ also provides us with a cool 'calculator' which determines a realistic ask amount, which saves our Major Gifts Officers a lot of guess work. It's user-friendly, comprehensive one-stop shopping! There is zero need for any other prospect research tool. We love it!"

"We chose DonorSearch™ for two reasons. First, because of its "user friendly" formatting. Obtaining results in Excel format (and not having to download special software) was a real plus. Another major reason is the depth of information DonorSearch™ offers on donors' other philanthropic gifts. No other product offered us the ability to really understand the donor's philanthropic priorities. The results from DonorSearch™ really gave us a much clearer understanding of our donor pool and helped us to get the very best donors included in our study. We intend to screen all our incoming families this summer, so that we can determine our priorities for one-on-one family meetings with our Head of School. We use DonorSearch™ virtually every day, and we are delighted with DonorSearch™'s customer service. Anytime we need anything, the DonorSearch™ team is very responsive!"

Lisa Grider, Director of Institutional Advancement, Newark Academy

"I am hard pressed to pick which of DonorSearch™'s two features I appreciate more--1) its incredible ease of use, or 2) its focus on philanthropy, not assets (many of which may be highly leveraged). I have an assistant who I am training, and training time is limited.You don't need hours and hours of training to use DonorSearch™--you just type in the name and run! The focus on philanthropy is what really makes this product worth having. Having a lot doesn't say a lot. Giving a lot says much more to me and our fundraisers on the field. Great product!"

Craig Steven Campbel, Director, Geisinger Health System Foundation

"I definitely agree that DonorSearch™ is on the cutting edge of where fundraising is headed. The future of fundraising will not solely focus on a person's wealth, but will focus more on the person and their philanthropic inclinations. Having an understanding of prospects' giving history gives you insight into the person and helps in conversation starters and developing a relationship. 'Fundraising is friendraising.' The data to help find potential "friends" has never really been reflective of that sentiment, until now."
