Four ways to reveal opportunity
Choose the strategy that matches your fundraising reality.
A mature statewide nonprofit, a young community organization, and a new project should not all receive the same prospect list.
Young Charity Champions
Identify foundations with a demonstrated willingness to fund newer nonprofit organizations.
- Built for younger organizations
- Looks beyond established recipients
- Finds funders open to emerging work
Hidden Gems
Surface high-potential foundations that may be missed by searches focused only on the largest or most familiar funders.
- Expands beyond obvious prospects
- Reveals overlooked funding patterns
- Diversifies the prospect pipeline
AI Project Match
Describe an initiative—such as pediatric mental health—and search for foundations whose giving aligns with that specific work.
- Uses the meaning behind your project
- Connects phrases to giving history
- Useful for new campaigns and programs
Start with peer success
See who is raising the most—and who made it possible.
The Genie first identifies charities that match your category, geography, project, and asset range. It can rank peer organizations by grants awarded and show the number of grants, number of foundations, and total funding received.
- Choose primary and additional mission categories
- Limit results by geography, filing years, and organization size
- Compare your organization with another nonprofit
- Turn peer performance into a defensible prospecting strategy

Discover who is not funding you—yet.
Most research products tell you who gave. Prospect Search Genie goes further by comparing peer giving against your own history so you can focus on new foundation prospects.
- Exclude foundations that already fund your organization
- Require local giving or a minimum number of relevant grants
- Rank prospects using peer grants, peer charities, total giving, and average grants
- Export results to Excel or PDF for research teams, clients, and leadership

Move with context
