The American Committee for the Weizmann Institute of Science (ACWIS) expanded its global prospecting capabilities with Altrata
Client’s goals
The main challenge for the team at The American Committee for the Weizmann Institute of Science (ACWIS) was finding a reliable source of data on high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs) outside of the United States. Language barriers, political, cultural, and economic differences made global prospecting especially difficult. The team wanted a solution that would provide international wealth intelligence for prospecting while also creating robust relationship-mapping capabilities.
The Altrata difference
Altrata was able to provide ACWIS with comprehensive, in- depth intelligence that helped them find more international HNWIs, as well as relationally map those individuals for potential connections.
Specifically, Wealth-X delivered critical details—biographies, wealth indicators, and philanthropic histories—that the team used for both prospect research. RelSci then enabled them to map out potential connections, helping fundraisers approach new prospects with more than a cold call.
Together, these tools helped the US team bridge cultural, political, and linguistic barriers, enabling the organization to expand its donor pool globally. With an international dataset and flexible integrations, Altrata ensured the American Committee’s fundraising team could meet goals, expand, and further its mission.
“With Altrata we’re able to provide timely and accurate prospect research, including bio information, wealth indicators, and other philanthropic giving history, to our frontline fundraisers.”
Linlin Chen Reid, Director of Prospect Management and Research, ACWIS
Impact
Wealth-X’s global data enabled ACWIS to identify prospect profiles and make connections with essential data like biographies, wealth indicators, and philanthropic histories. This intelligence empowered the team to pursue new global donors with greater confidence, specifically regarding perceived cultural barriers. After identifying prospects, RelSci mapped out existing relationships and shared networks, illuminating straightforward paths to connect further with more UHNW individuals.
Altrata gave ACWIS a new set of tools for finding prospects, a greater pool of prospects at a global scale, and the ability and confidence to reach out across cultural, political, and economic barriers using highly relevant data. Together, Altrata’s platforms contributed significantly to the completion of ACWIS’s and an essential facet of their organization’s toolkit
