Who Gives What and Why: Noza Knows

Who Gives What and Why: Noza Knows: "Who Gives What and Why: Noza Knows
by Barbara Quint
July 31, 2006 — Behind most of society’s happier moments, you will find the contributions of the generous. Funds from donors provide the resources that empower more than a million nonprofit organizations. To help these organizations find their power connections, a new database and search engine from Noza, LLC (http://www.nozasearch.com) offers more than 12 million separate records of charitable contributions and donations from individuals, corporations, and foundations. Craig Harris, CEO and founder of Noza, expects heavy use from established prospect researchers serving the 500,000 heavy hitter nonprofits, but he mainly hopes to serve the million smaller nonprofits needing prospects. Charges for the database operate on a declining scale with partial records available for free. All of the data in the system comes from open Web sources, according to Harris. “As of now,” Noza inputs no print data nor does it tap proprietary databases. However, the six resellers of Noza’s files do carry access to a range of proprietary files."

Wow, what a resource! I just built a list of donor prospects from NOZA's create-a-list...what would have taken days (sifting through donor lists) I was able to do in about 2 minutes on NOZA....the entire list of prospects cost less than a few bucks on their website.
