Collective donor rolls are not public. The paper trail people leave when they give and when they build is: university and museum honor rolls, private-foundation grant schedules, the officers and directors named on IRS 990s, corporate registrations, county deed records, the role and seniority on their LinkedIn profile — and what they say in public about your program. Civly reads all of it, ranks your alumni and booster list against it, and attaches the contact data we hold.
Read this first
Most prospecting pitches are vague about where the data comes from. Here is exactly what this is.
So this is documented giving, documented capacity, and public affinity — three separate signals, each traceable to a filing or a post. It answers “who in this group has already proven they give, who has the means, and who actually cares about us” — which is the question worth answering before you start making calls.
What comes back
Send us your alumni or booster list and it comes back ordered on all three signals, with the filing behind every claim. Click any row.

Every line above traces to a filing or a public post — an IRS 990, a published honor roll, a corporate or deed record, a LinkedIn profile, or something the person said in public. Where there is nothing on file, the report says so instead of inferring a number. None of it is a record of anything given to a collective.
Most programs already have a list and no idea which names are worth the call. Some have neither.
Collective Prospecting, answered.
No, and neither does anyone else selling you a list. Collective donor rolls are not public records. What is public is the filing trail around a person’s giving and their means, and that is what this product reads.
Three places. Published donor honor rolls at universities and museums, which name donors in gift bands. Private-foundation grant schedules filed with the IRS, which list every grant a foundation made and to whom. And the officers, directors and trustees named on nonprofit 990s. What we cannot see is an individual’s direct gift to a charity — that donor schedule is redacted in the public copy of a 990.
Not in the usual sense. We do not hand you a modelled net-worth number for a private individual. We report what is actually on file — the role and seniority on their LinkedIn profile, officer roles and business registrations, property and deed records, SEC holdings — and let you draw the inference, with the source attached.
Because capacity without connection is a cold call. The most useful names on most lists are the ones where a real giving record and a real attachment to the program overlap — and the second most useful are young alumni with loud affinity and no money yet, who are worth a small recurring ask now rather than a pitch in ten years.
We attach the contact information Civly already holds for a person, and we tell you which fields we hold and which we do not. Treat it as a starting point for outreach rather than a guaranteed reach.
It depends on the source, and the list says so per field. IRS 990s are annual and typically land six to eighteen months after the year they cover, so foundation and nonprofit-leadership data is the slowest. Corporate and deed records update as they are filed. Social affinity is current. Every list states its cutoff on the first page.
We will score a sample from it so you can see the signal before you commit to anything.
