Understanding your Prospect List

Your prospect list on Impala is here to help you prioritize how you engage prospective funders by providing insights into possible connections and funding potential.

Funders appear on your prospect list after being added by you or a member of your team. Funders can be added from any of the suggestion lists, or from anywhere across the platform!

For each funder you'll see information including their name, Match score, Connections, and Solicitation.

Match

Each funder is given a Match score in relation to your organization. This score is based on the funder's score for your organization across 3 key sections: Alignment, Capacity, and Relationships.

These areas are scored based on the information you self-reported (like your geographies, causes, and peers) as well as information about your organization that Impala already knows (like grants received, and people connected).

Click on the Match score to see more detail on the funder's alignment, capacity, and relationships with your organization.

You can also access a funder's full profile by clicking the View Profile button on this view.
