Million Dollar Donor List Now Free!

Saturday, September 24th, 2011

I found this terrific free Million Dollar Donor List from The Center for Philanthropy at Indiana University. The Center converted the subscription-only list to a free online resource in May 2011.

According to the website, the current list is a record of publicly announced charitable gifts of $1 million or more from 2000 to 2010 given by U.S. residents to domestic or international entities across a range of charitable subsectors. The list is updated on a quarterly basis. It contains only publicly announced gifts.

The website allows a person to download the entire dataset, which could be very useful when looking for particular types of principal gift donors.

Enjoy!

Some interesting corporate resources

Wednesday, February 2nd, 2011

I’ve been receiving more requests for corporate research lately and I ran across two useful sites that are used in the activist community but could also be used for donor research

Endgame, the site of Seattle area activist researcher George Draffan, has a terrific set of links as well as some corporate profiles

http://www.endgame.org/links.html

Crocodyl

http://www.crocodyl.org/

is a collaborative wiki created by activist nonprofit organizations as well as individual contributors.  This site has great information and corporate profiles.

Both these sites are well researched and have an activist bent, making them particularly useful when performing due diligence before accepting gifts or making grant requests.

Enjoy!
