While recently working on a fundraiser and one of the most daunting tasks was collecting addresses for previous and potential donors. I volunteered to assist because I have extensive internet experience and also because a good friend is on the board for the society who I wanted to help.
While we started with a fairly extensive database, most of the names had only phone numbers and not addresses with them. Phone numbers are great to follow up with donors, but nothing beats a mailer to get the news out and raise money.
Luckily, I remembered using ReverseLookup.com when I worked as a credit analyst to keep borrowers honest, and its capability of matching the phone numbers with the addresses was invaluable. This was exactly what we needed to get this project successfully off the ground.
With ReverseLookup.com we were able to find addresses for more than 97% of those potential donors. Absolutely phenomenal when you take into account the number of phones that have blocks put on them nowadays.
I cannot stress enough what an amazing tool ReverseLookup.com was for the big spring fundraiser. I suggest that anyone with a non-profit database filled with incomplete donor records would benefit from this site.
