Prospect Research Online (PRO), by iWave Information Systems is a subscription based, cost effective, easy to use Web research tool that helps nonprofits identify and qualify potential funders in 3 key areas: Individual Giving, Corporate Giving and Foundation Giving.

Whether you are a one person development office or one of the world's largest noprofit organizations, our database is integral to your prospect development efforts.

Prospect Research Online data providers include ZoomInfo's PowerSearch, NOZA's world's largest database of charitable gifts, Guidestar's Grant Explorer, Infinata's High Net Worth Alert, HEP Development's database of matching gift companies called GiftPlus Online, Larkspur Data database of wealthy people called Prospects of Wealth, our own form 990 search tool called Foundation Finder, PRO data and more. Prospect Research Online's innovative bundling of data providers allows develop-ment and fundraising professionals to gather philanthropic information on foundations, individuals, and corporations in a very cost effective and timely manner. Prospect Research Online subscribers include organizations from every state in the US, 10 provinces in Canada, the UK and Australia.

ZoomInfo Powersearch is a subscription service that provides access to a database of over50 million people and 5 million companies. Customers search ZoomInfo using a diverse range of criteria, such as job title, education, employment history, company name, location and company description.

The TechnologyIn order to deliver this amazing capability, the ZoomInfo engineering team has developed three different technologies: Natural Language Extraction, Artificial Intelligence Algorithms, and Information Integration.

Using Natural Language Extraction tools, their computers are able to read English sentences ("Steve Jobs co-founded Apple Computers with...") and understand what they mean. With this understanding, they are able to extract relevant pieces of information about the people discussed in these sentences, such as the companies they work for and their job titles.

Artificial Intelligence Algorithms allow ZoomInfo's computers to analyze a website and extract information based on an under-standing of how the website is constructed. In this way, ZoomInfo's systems can deduce that a specific paragraph describes the company behind the website, or that a specific address contains the location of the company head-quarters.

After Zoomlnfo's computers have extracted information using the above tools, their Information Integration logic then sifts through the data and organizes it. The biographies of people found on different web pages are assembled into profiles, and inconsistencies in the information are interpreted and resolved.

The ProductSearches can be broad or narrow depending on the criteria users enter. Clicking on a person's name displays a profile containing that person's contact information, employment history, board memberships, educational background and other details - as well as information about the companies that they have worked for. There's even a link that lets you find other people who may know your prospect.

ZoomInfo's unique system continuously crawls the Internet and reads millions of websites, press releases, electronic news services, SEC filings and other online sources. Using sophisticated natural language process-ing tools, it then extracts information about people and the companies that they work for, and combines them into an easily searchable on-line tool.

ZoomInfo is one of the most sophisticated automatic content generation systems in the world. Every piece of data in our system is extracted and compiled by computer, with no human intervention. Using ZoomInfo is like having a huge team of researchers working for you around the clock, collecting information about people and companies, and providing immediate answers for just about any question you might happen to ask.

High Net Worth Alert is a WebCrawler that specializes in tracking the daily activities of nearly 2 million high net worth individuals and the companies they work for.

Imagine the power of being alerted via email about such events as when someone in your area sells a half million dollars worth of stock, when a prospect is promoted, a merger/acquisition is announced (and you can use ZoomInfo to see who benefits i.e. founder, president, etc), political contribution history, etc.

NozaSearch is the world’s largest searchable database of charitable donations.

NOZA works as a web crawler (similar to ZoomInfo and High Net Worth Alert) that crawls non-profit sites and extracts donor lists from annual reports, etc. There is also a human quality control element to the process but what’s exciting about the technology is that they are growing their database by about 1 Million records a month! At present, they have accumulated 45 million searchable records.

All of the charitable information in NOZA's database is collected from publicly available sources using NOZA's proprietary technology. NOZA is the first searchable database to provide nonprofits with immedi-ate, affordable snapshots of individual, corporate and foundation giving. Each full record contains the following 12 fields of information:

o Donor name o Dollar range of donation o Gift category o Year that gift was received by recipient organization o Recipient organization name o Recipient organization city

Who should use this service?Any nonprofit organization that needs to raise money from individuals, foundations or businesses will find NOZA extremely valuable. Start-up and early stage nonprofits will benefit from finding new sources of seed funding, while larger established institutions will benefit from finding new major gift prospects from within their ranks of existing annual donors. Organizations planning for capital campaigns can use NOZA to create customized prospect lists to assist in solicitation planning.

Where does the data come from?NOZA’s database is comprised of detailed charitable gift information that has been collected from publicly available internet locations, all of which are acces-sible on the open web (or they were once available but have since been removed or updated). Data comes from Internet-based annual reports, newslet-ters, campaign honour rolls, press releases, event sponsor lists, etc. NOZA`s proprietary technology locates, isolates and converts unstructured data from the open Web into a searchable, relational database.

How often is information updated in NOZA?NOZA gathers 50,000 new records per day on average. Given the fact that there are more than a million nonprofits in the U.S. alone; the data from NOZA should be viewed as a cross-section of philanthropic data.

Prospects of Wealth opens the door to over 4.5 million of America's most affluent individuals. This unique searchable database will help you reach your target market!

"Prospects of Wealth" by Larkspur Data is included in your subscription to Prospect Research Online. "Prospects of Wealth" or POW contains approximately four and a half million high net worth individuals located throughout the United States. This database is compiled from over 70 sources including the SEC, IRS (Keogh Retirement Plans), FAA, Coast Guard, DMV, and many other public sources of information. In order to be included in "Prospects of Wealth", a person must have multiple evidences of wealth.

The product is positioned for the financial industry as it specifically targets individuals who have liquid assets to invest. People who may be wealthy in your area may not be included in this database as they may not possess multiple public sources of wealth indicators. Such things as bank balances, real estate holdings, etc would not qualify an individual for "Prospects of Wealth" as either the information is not public or their assets are not liquid.

In order for Larkspur Data to determine multiple evidences of wealth, they go to such sources as the SEC to locate Corporate Insiders that have filed Section 144 Documents for transfers of large blocks of stock. The IRS is an excellent source for information on business owners with Keogh Retirement Plans. The FAA makes available information on individuals that own private aircraft. The Coast Guard has public information on individuals that own yachts in excess of 40 feet. The Department of Motor Vehicles has information on people who register vehicles with a value in excess of $100,000. The list of sources is quite varied but it is based on public sources of information.

"Prospects of Wealth" serves as a great lead list to identify new prospects that have the financial means to contribute to your cause. Many Prospect Research Online users utilize our ZoomInfo database product to further their research on individuals identified in "Prospects of Wealth".
