Donor Discovery

Donor discovery is a new way to identify prospective donors that builds on a classic donation record search by adding relationship filters. Use donor discovery to quickly identify a list of prospects who have a history of supporting your cause and have relationship map connections to your organization. 

Integrated Search 

An integrated search looks for information in all of CharityCAN’s datasets for an individual, foundation or corporation. This search is perfect for researching a prospect or finding out more information about a current donor. 

Relationship Mapping

Relationship Maps show you who your prospect is connected to. CharityCAN maps relationships based on:

• Shared time on charity boards
• Shared time on corporate boards
• Shared time on the board of federally registered corporations
• Shared ownership of a federally registered plane or boat
• Shared surname and postal code

You can use relationship mapping to:

• See how your prospect is connected to your organization
• Search board members’ networks for major gift prospects
• Better understand your prospect’s network and connections
• See how your donors are connected to your prospects 
• Create your own relationship maps 

Relationship Paths 

Relationship paths allows you to quickly identify connections among people, charities, and companies. This search is perfect for seeing who your board members, major donors, corporate donors, or any other friend of your organization is connected to. 

Household Data Search

Using CharityCAN to find out household data information is simple. Navigate to Household Data and enter a 3 or 6 digit postal code and CharityCAN will return the following information: 

• Average household net worth
• Average dwelling value
• Average dwelling value minus mortgage
• Average household annual income
• Average household discretionary income
• Average household annual donations to religious and non-religious organizations

This data set can also be used to populate a list of individuals CharityCAN has been able to associate with a postal code and view connections to any individuals who live in the postal code.  

Foundation Search 

Foundations are an important source of funding for fundraising organizations and CharityCAN makes it easy to search for potential foundation donors. You can search by name, keywords, charity number, cause/category, charity type, location and revenue level. You can also search by donee category and program.

Data

Refinitiv & Corporate Canada 

Both our Refinitiv salary records and Corporate Canada records are sourced from Refinitiv and include compensation and biographical information on the board of directors and top named executive officers from public and large private companies across Canada.

Prospect Profiles 

Prospect profiles are programmatically created profiles that attempt to identify unique individuals within the various CharityCAN datasets and bring that information together into one profile.  

Profiles are updated monthly.
