Pros

“iWave is great for automated donor prospecting. Once we defined prospects on our end, we were able to set it and forget it to regularly update our contacts with scoring.”

“Overall, iWave has been a boon for us regarding donor prospecting and as a result, we plan to use it for corporate prospecting in the new year!”

Ann A.

Prospect Research Coordinator

Pros

“Within the first week, I was able to find another 15 grants I had never heard of that specifically tie to my work and the grant writing assistance saved me so much time in digging back through my old applications wondering "where did I write about this before?!".”
CC

Cherise C.

Director of Operations and Programming

“Beyond grant discovery, it has transformed the way our team manages grants by keeping projects, tasks, and deadlines organized in one place.”

Development and Outreach Officer

“It has saved me so much time being able to fine tune my applications as well as save me from pursuing potential funders who did not align with my organization's mission and goals.”

Development Operations and Grants Manager

Cons

“Sometimes the search gets wonky when you're searching a lot of people in a row.”

Marc E.

Sr. Prospect Researcher

“Still very time consuming, especially if you need to search different variations on the name.”
SH

Sara H.

Senior Development Manager

“Not intuitive to learn.”
CS

Christopher S.

Director of Development

Cons

“The only thing that bothers me is that if I find a grant and save to a project, and the officer decides not to apply, there's no way to just remove the grant. ”
