With an estimated 400,000+ institutional donors covering the globe, our comprehensive donor mapping and prospect research services are very popular. Our experienced team of researchers has completed 100s of mappings, working closely with clients to identify potential donors, supporters and funding sources. We will map past, present, and prospective donors for the client’s focus areas, overall mission and/or specific projects.
Donors researched include:
- Foundations and Trusts
- Bi- and Multilateral Donors
- Trust Funds
- International Financial Institutions
- Local Donors
- Corporate Foundations
In our donor mappings, we identify and rank potential donors by assessing the giving history, geographic and thematic preferences, and gift capacity. By providing valuable insights into donors’ motivations and interests, we help clients develop more effective fundraising strategies and build stronger relationships with their funding partners.
Our sources include:
- Analysis of global giving trends
- Identification of donors to peer organizations
- Use of both open and proprietary databases covering dozens of countries
- Review of donor strategies, white papers, budgets, websites, annual reports, and tax records
Each donor portfolio consists of:
- Donor Name, Address, and Website
- Program Priorities and Relevant Themes
- Prospect Ranking (with attached criteria)
- Application Information (approach options, proposal formats, dates of submission, web links)
- Contact Information (including relevant person within the organization where applicable)

Countries where Philantropia has conducted donor mapping
Philantropia goes beyond basic donor identification, assessing overall suitability and ranking the quality of the donor using our priority ranking methodology, as well as finding the specific individuals at the donor agency responsible for your area of work. Our donor mapping supports clients in increasing the scale of their donor pipeline while improving the win rate. Better information leads to better go/no-go decisions and overall grant management. Mapping is a tool to build stronger mutually beneficial relationships with donors, and for both to effectively reach their goals.
