Description

Donor mapping is an effective method for expanding your donor network and enhancing your funding prospects. It provides insights into donors’ thematic interests, application procedures, and geographic focus, increasing the likelihood of securing funding. By identifying donors aligned with your project and organizational goals, donor mapping significantly boosts your chances of success.

What is a donor mapping?

Donor mapping involves highly targeted research to identify 20 potential donor matches tailored to your specific criteria. This can be conducted for a particular project, program, or your organization as a whole. You have the flexibility to focus on specific donor types (e.g., foundations), geographic regions (e.g., US-based donors), sectors (e.g., agriculture, health, education), or individual countries (e.g., single country, multi-country, or regional focus).

Which benefits does a donor mapping have for us?

Professional donor mapping assists in expanding your donor base by identifying new and suitable donors. Outsourcing this process to experts saves you time and resources, while also preventing proposals from being sent to low-prospect donors. By following a well-established research methodology, the chances of finding donors with high potential matches for your organization and projects are significantly increased.
