Database Analysis & Hygiene
We assess the quality of an organization’s donor data and determine the infrastructure that is supporting fundraising efforts. CFA’s data audit looks for data hygiene in areas such as demographic data, key data points, portfolio usage, and moves management processes.
Wealth & Philanthropic Screening
We provide an in-depth look at the giving capacity and philanthropic inclination of your donors using databases such as DonorSearch, LexisNexis, iWave, Foundation Directory, and Melissa Lookups. This information is necessary for prioritizing development work, strategizing specific prospects, and segmenting your database for appeals.
Yield & Inclination Analysis
CFA’s proprietary Yield & Inclination Analysis enhances the Wealth & Philanthropic Screening by combining your database’s engagement and giving data (membership, event attendance, and designations such as former board members) with the wealth screening results. In doing so, we are able to create a customized inclination scoring system that highlights your best prospects.

Using your database, we can prioritize top prospects and provide segmentation recommendations for targeted appeals and other fundraising initiatives. Additionally, we can identify new major and principal gift prospects and help build and optimize prospect portfolios.

We provide one-on-one, small group, and large group training that includes building a data infrastructure and focusing on data hygiene and integrity.
