Your resources are valuable, and Blackbaud solutions provide the intelligence needed to deploy them most effectively.

Your constituents are complex, with many different factors contributing to how they may interact with your organization. Blackbaud solutions are designed to help you identify and prioritize prospects based on their financial capacity as well as their propensity to give.

ResearchPoint™, the leading platform for prospect research, offers a dedicated tool for researchers to access publicly identifiable wealth and asset information, manage research lists, and build comprehensive prospect wealth profiles including:

Blackbaud’s data scientists leverage advanced analytic techniques and decades of experience to build accurate models that combine wealth with multi-faceted behavioral and demographic data to predict a prospect’s likelihood to give to your organization. Models predict likelihood to give to various programs including, major, planned, and annual. Custom models can also incorporate your organization’s constituent data to further tailor predictions specifically to you.

Quantify giving potential across prospects, portfolios and campaigns.

What is a reasonable goal for your upcoming capital campaign? Which portfolios are underperforming? What is the total untapped giving potential in your database? Blackbaud combines comprehensive data with advanced analytics to ensure you can always answer these questions with a high degree of confidence, providing a variety of quantitative predictions at the individual level:

  • Annual income
