- Customized Content – Regardless of level, every profile is customized and curated for your organization and its unique needs.
- Specialty Research – When you need specialized research, such as UHNWIs or due diligence, you can count on Aspire’s deep expertise and professionalism.
Major Gift Prospect Identification
Find prospects who actually want to give to you! Standard prospect research finds wealthy people. We find wealthy people who care about your cause. Through custom analysis we identify prospects with both the capacity and affinity to become major donors to your organization specifically.
Wealth Screening – We provide segmentation, top prospect recommendations, and if you are in campaign, populate the campaign gift table.
Prospecting Outside your Existing Donor Base – Whether you want to build a “Wish List” of prospects aligned with your mission but are not yet connected, discover companies and foundations that are capable and aligned, or have other strategies such as relationship mapping or event list building, Aspire delivers.
