”Atticus gave us structure. Instead of staring at a blank screen wondering who to call, we had names, insights, and the confidence to actually reach out.

We help development teams build capacity.
Some teams need to find new major donor prospects.
Others need to build their first formal development strategy.
Some are drowning in data they can’t prioritize.
Others are performing well and need new capabilities to reach the next level.
We bring practical technology and development expertise to help you build what your mission requires.
“I don’t view Atticus as a vendor or just a tool—it truly feels like a collaborative partnership. I expected it to be like any other donor analysis tool, but it isn’t like that at all. Atticus operates as a partner.”

Prospects with the capacity, generosity, and MVV alignment to become your organization’s next major donors.
“Strangers” means you don’t know one another yet. We can also surface “hidden gems” from within your own data to identify prospects you already know with the capacity to give more.
Prioritizing Your Existing Data
Know who to focus on first.
An organization was drowning in donor data but couldn’t identify who to focus on for their capital campaign. We analyzed their database and built a prioritization system that showed them exactly which donors represented the highest opportunity for their specific initiative.
Finding Net-New Major Donors
Expand beyond your current network.
A nonprofit needed to identify prospective major donors outside their existing database – people who had never given to them before. We built a custom prospect identification system that surfaced hundreds of highly aligned, high-capacity prospects they didn’t know existed.
The insights summary provides an overview of how we know the prospect aligns with your organization. Our rich, narrative profiles also have many additional insights showing proof of the prospect’s capacity, generosity, and alignment.
Additional profile sections provide a selected history of (public) gifts, contact information, and even potential human connections between the prospect and your organization.
Attend “stranger engagement” workshops and more to fine-tune your teams’ donor outreach skills.
Building Major Donor Strategy
Move from reactive to strategic.
A growing organization had never formalized their major donor program. We designed and implemented a complete major donor development strategy – from team structure to cultivation processes to metrics that matter.
