What You'll Get

A structured prospect profile that synthesizes raw public information about a potential donor into a clear summary of their philanthropic priorities, capacity indicators, connection points to your mission, and a suggested cultivation approach.

The Prompt

Copy and paste this
Synthesize this prospect research into a donor profile. Information: [paste LinkedIn bio, foundation website info, board affiliations, news mentions — all public info]. Summarize: philanthropic priorities, estimated capacity level (major/mid/annual), connection to [your mission area], and suggest a first cultivation step.

Tips

Only paste publicly available information — nothing from your donor database that the prospect didn't put out themselves. The AI is excellent at pattern-matching across sources to find affinity clues (what causes they support, organizations they're involved with) that you might miss when reading the same information linearly.
