December is here, and with it comes a look back at the latest updates rolled out for our Impala for Fundraisers users in the last month.
At Impala, we’re dedicated to empowering fundraisers with smarter tools and deeper insights. This past month, we introduced a suite of innovative features designed to make your fundraising efforts more efficient and impactful. From customizable prospect lists tailored to specific goals, to AI-powered peer suggestions and refined match scores, these updates help you identify the best funding opportunities with ease.
Let’s explore what’s new and how these enhancements can transform your fundraising strategy.
Multi Prospecting Criteria (Projects)
Release Date: Now Live!
Who: Premium subscriber of Impala for Fundraisers
Managing multiple fundraising priorities just got a whole lot easier! Premium Impala for Fundraisers subscribers can now seamlessly work on multiple fundraising projects simultaneously, each with its own unique prospecting criteria and curated funder suggestions. Here’s what this means for you:
- Effortlessly prospect for different projects with varying requirements at the same time—for example, researching climate change funders in San Francisco while also building a list of prospects for Boston-based arts nonprofits.
- Collaborate with your team on multiple projects or campaigns without worrying about overwriting one another’s work, ensuring everyone stays aligned and productive.
This powerful feature keeps your fundraising efforts organized, efficient, and tailored to your unique goals!
Peer Suggestions via AI
Release Date: Now Live!
Who: New users of Impala for Fundraisers
Identifying peers is crucial for successful fundraising, and we’re taking it to the next level with AI-powered peer suggestions. Our system now automatically suggests organizations doing similar work directly within your prospecting criteria. This enhancement significantly boosts the quality of your suggested funders because funders who support your peers are one of the highest-value sources of new leads.
New Match Score Criteria for Causes, Geographies, and Connections
Release Date: Now Live!
Who: All users of Impala for Fundraisers
We’ve introduced new badges for causes, geographies, and connections to bring even more precision to your prospecting efforts. Now, you’ll find more funders who not only support your cause but are also based in your city. Additionally, we’ve added distinct badges for connections through your team versus your funders, making it easier to pinpoint the strongest matches. With this refined approach, your most promising opportunities will rise to the top of your suggestion list.
We’re excited to see how these updates will enhance your experience with Impala and help your team reach new heights in fundraising success.
