DonorScope is a web-based prospect research platform for nonprofits seeking major gift donors. Users can search for charitable givers with net worth of $1,000,000 or more by ZIP code or radius, then narrow results with filters. After receiving a custom prospect count, users can purchase names and contact information for immediate download; charges apply to records purchased, and the amount depends on criteria and record availability. Nonprofits can upload an existing list to check wealth overlays and buy appended data. Available fields include net worth, income range, home value, marital status, children, home ownership, length of residence, business ownership, education, occupation, gender, and age range. Accepted uploads require first and last name plus either city, state, and ZIP or an email address. Appended data can be imported into an existing database. Foundation records can be searched and downloaded free. Training covers list compilation, segmentation, data management, and prospect research through tutorials, video instruction, and audio trainers. DonorScope says its net worth data is updated monthly. The annual subscription is 998.00 USD per year, with additional record charges.
