This analysis tool allows development officers, prospect researchers, and other nonprofit professionals to quickly assess a potential donor or prospect. For researchers, imagine eliminating the guesswork of capacity analysis! With AskAnalyzer, you can quickly enter your prospect’s information to find an instant gift capacity. Development Officers can use AskAnalyzer as well to obtain a gift range based upon information you know - instantly delivered to your desktop.

AskAnalyzer allows you to run as many scenarios as you like and check multiple donors or prospects economically. You may also store those scenarios so that you can come back and alter information without having to input the entire scenario again.  Make sure you check AskAnalyzer before you make your next donor or prospect solicitation.

How does AskAnalyzer work?

AskAnalyzer is a sophisticated algorithm that takes gift capacity calculations to a new level by applying consistent logic, solid financial analysis, and current wealth study data.  Developed by a prospect researcher with years of experience in the industry, a financial analyst, and a software developer in response to real industry need, AskAnalyzer presents a comprehensive approach to gift capacity. Simply stated, AskAnalyzer takes the established prospect research rules of thumb that make sense (eliminating those that don’t) and synthesizes those formulas with hard wealth study data and financial principals to deliver the most solid estimated gift capacities and ask ranges available in the marketplace today.  Why leave dollars on the table? AskAnalyzer enables you to see the full gift capacity potential in your prospects and have the confidence to make the Ask.
