Integrate Your Prospect Data and Raise More
Integrate your prospect data in your Constituent Relationship Management (CRM) system to build your strongest gift-closing strategies. When your data is integrated you have financial capacity, linkage (to your organization), and affinity information at your fingertips.
WHAT IS PROSPECT DATA INTEGRATION?
Prospect data integration combines external and internal information in one place: the prospect’s record in your CRM.
When you integrate your prospect data, your fundraising team gets a holistic view of each prospect that they can use to better understand the capacity and motivations of each individual, make an effective plan, and raise more money.
WHAT PROSPECT DATA SHOULD YOU INTEGRATE?
Consider integrating these characteristics:
External Data:
- Wealth: Net worth, asset values, income, business revenues
- Outside philanthropy: Gifts to other causes
- Demographics: Household size, age, spouse
- Capacity and affinity ratings: Vendor ratings based on client-supplied and external data.
Internal Data:
These are data points you may already have in your prospect’s CRM record. Most fundraising CRMs have a screen or module for prospect and engagement information, such as:
- Giving history: Dates, amounts, and designations of gifts to your organization
- Engagement history: Events attended, volunteer roles and dates of service, past visits and solicitations, etc.
- Internal or past capacity and likelihood ratings
- Experiences unique to your organization: Fraternity/Sorority membership at a university, treatment received from a healthcare organization

* NOTE: Some vendor integrations may not have custom screens for the external data. Instead, the data points are mapped and imported into specific fields in the prospect’s record (e.g., attributes in Raiser’s Edge).
Prospect data integration puts actionable insights in one place. It gives you the power to plan and ACT with precision.
