Case Study: Catholic Community Foundation increases giving by 40% with iWave

Giving Increases by 40% Using iWave

Catholic Community Foundation, a religious-based nonprofit in Cleveland, OH, needed a better way to find time and resources for proactive prospect research while balancing budget constraints and relationship-building goals. The team turned to iWave and its wealth screening and prospect research datasets to help identify and engage prospective donors more efficiently.

Using iWave’s datasets, wealth screens, and donor profile tools, the foundation gained access to phone numbers, home values, and email addresses to support more effective outreach and solicitation. As a result, major gift officers saw a 40% increase in giving, and iWave also helped support the foundation’s annual appeal, which had raised $12.5 million through October 2018 and was on track to exceed its prior $14 million record.
