How it works 👀
DonorSearch is a leading provider of prospect research for non-profits and organizations of all types. Pulling information from the largest philanthropic database, DonorSearch uses proprietary algorithms to surface actionable insights, giving history and wealth intelligence that connects more people to your cause.
With DonorSearch's wealth screening tools baked right into Givebutter contacts, you're able to analyze supporters based on their capacity and likelihood to give.
