Your organization needs a deliberate, intentional strategy for securing more support like major gifts. That’s where wealth and philanthropy screening comes in.
At DonorSearch, we compare your organization’s donor information with data found across charitable giving and wealth databases to provide you with the most comprehensive and actionable insights to boost your fundraising work.
Here’s a closer look at how it’s done!

What are Wealth and Philanthropic Screenings?
These processes are best understood separately, but are most powerful when nonprofits and their screening partners use them in conjunction.
- Wealth screening is the process of learning more about your nonprofit’s current donors’ and prospects’ wealth or capacity to give to your organization. With wealth screening, you’re looking for indicators of wealth such as political contributions, business affiliations, real estate ownership, and SEC stock holdings.
- Philanthropic screening, on the other hand, involves looking at donors’ and prospects’ affinity or warmth toward your organization. In other words, you’re discovering whether a donor has an interest in or personal connection to your organization (or philanthropic work in general) that indicates they may want to give to your cause.
At DonorSearch, we believe that wealth screening alone is not enough. By conducting wealth and philanthropic screening together, we help you ensure that you’re not only finding donors who can give, but who want to give.
