Donor Radar

Donor Radar finds and ranks the people, families, businesses, congregations and foundations within a chosen radius of your community who already give to healthcare. It combines IRS foundation filings, hospital and clinic honor rolls, event sponsor lists and community foundation donor reports into Top, Mid and Next 100 prospect tiers. Each prospect has a profile showing what they gave, how they connect to the other names on the list, how to reach them, and which healthcare projects they are most likely to support.

 

It is designed for hospital and health system foundations, development directors, planned-giving officers and nonprofit clinic leaders preparing a campaign or a new project.

 

The tool above is a sample build set in the Detroit metro with fictional donors. Client versions are built from public records for each organization's own service area.

 

What each donor profile shows

• Tier, prospect score and primary cause

• Gift level: the exact grant for foundations, or the sponsor level or honor roll for individuals and businesses

• Healthcare gifts over the last three years and other giving in the same year

• Overlaps with other entries, such as a person, the couple, their family foundation and their company

• The kinds of projects they are most likely to fund, from capital campaigns to cancer care, hospice, behavioral health, medical debt relief and care for the uninsured

• Website, phone, application contact and address for organizations, and ZIP code for individuals

 

How the list is built

Donor Radar starts with every private and community foundation inside the radius and reads three years of itemized grants from their IRS 990 and 990-PF returns. Each grant is sorted by cause, with direct healthcare counted in full and basic needs and senior services at half weight. Published donor lists then add the individuals, couples, businesses and congregations. Officer lists and business records link the people behind each entry. Prospects are scored on healthcare giving, capacity, local healthcare gifts, how many sources confirm them, how recent their giving is, and any planned-gift signal.

 

Frequently asked questions

 

Where does the donor information come from? Only public sources: IRS Form 990 and 990-PF filings, hospital and clinic donor reports, event sponsor lists, community foundation annual reports and press coverage. Every entry lists the source it came from.

 

Can we choose the area it covers? Yes. You choose the center point and the radius. A nearby metro area can get its own tab so its largest donors don't crowd out your local list.

 

How are people, couples, companies and foundations connected? Foundation officer and trustee lists, business records and donor rolls show when the same person gives on their own, as a couple, through a family foundation or through their company. Each entry keeps its own tier, and the overlap is noted on every related entry with a confidence level.

 

Are individual gift amounts included? When they are published. Foundation grants are exact. Individuals and businesses usually appear on sponsor lists and honor rolls without amounts, so the list shows their published level instead.

 

How often is the list updated? We recommend a refresh every six months, when new tax filings and donor reports are published. Each refresh keeps the same dashboard and adds a new Excel workbook.

 

Is this the live version? The page shows a sample build with fictional Detroit-metro donors. Client versions use public records for each organization's own service area.
