iWave | February 02, 2023
The industry-led fundraising intelligence platform iWave recently announced the expansion of its fundraising intelligence data suite with a US-based premium source of national real estate and transaction intelligence, The Warren Group.
Real estate data is a key part of fundraising intelligence because it reveals a lot about the wealth of a potential donor. Fundraising professionals use this data for prospecting new donors by geographic location or asset range, determining any prospect's capacity, and formulating data-informed gift asks. Additionally, the add-on data from The Warren Group expands on the real estate data already offered within iWave by CoreLogic. Further improving wealth screening results adds more predictive power to multiple AI-driven models.
The fundraising intelligence by iWave provides a 360° view of donors and prospects, including the industry's most comprehensive database. The database comprises wealth, philanthropic, and biographic data points. Additional wealth indicators include aircraft ownership, investments, and compensation. In addition, the users of iWave can access VeriGift, one of the world's largest and latest charitable giving databases with more than 205 million records.
Kristin Daye, Product Management Director at iWave, said, "At iWave, we pride ourselves on transforming the way nonprofits use data for fundraising more efficiently and making a greater impact." She also said, "By expanding the real estate data available within iWave, we're fueling better predictive power while further cementing our position as the leading provider of the most comprehensive and accurate suite of fundraising intelligence data."

iWave | January 30, 2023
The fundraising intelligence platform iWave recently announced its release of new enhancements. The latest updates for Salesforce integration on the Salesforce AppExchange include Automated Scoring. This new feature allows fundraising professionals to understand the potential of donating to new constituents as and when they are added to Salesforce. In addition, nonprofits get automatic updates of the latest wealth and philanthropic intelligence in Salesforce and can optimize their cultivation efforts with the help of customizable scoring triggers.
The iWave and Salesforce integration help fundraising professionals develop internal Salesforce data with iWave's fundraising intelligence to identify ideal donors, find new prospects, customize outreach, and raise more donations using a frictionless workflow. Automated Scoring additionally enhances the ability to prioritize donors who have the potential to donate more and provides new cultivation and socialization opportunities.
Several studies have shown that timing is key to getting the most from fundraising outcomes. For instance, donors are much more likely to give a second gift in the first three months. With Automated Scoring turned on, a new donation that meets a pre-set threshold can automatically update a constituent's record with the most recent information about their wealth and giving. This ensures that the fundraising teams can determine the ideal ask amount and customize cultivation utilizing up-to-date fundraising intelligence. The configurable scoring triggers include a change of address, a new donation and more.
Mary Cote, VP of Product at iWave, said, "It's known that good data provides a greater perspective and ability to do something more effectively, and therefore, is an essential component of decision-making at any forward-thinking organization." She also mentioned, "This is why we are so focused on providing the best-in-class and most accurate fundraising intelligence data. However, the exponential growth of data available on donors introduces a new challenge—ensuring good decision-making by having the most up-to-date donor intelligence. To address this challenge, we're introducing new automation within iWave for Salesforce so that constituent records can receive automatic updates with the latest wealth and giving data."
