What does "benchmarking" include?
Our benchmarking tools include a
purpose-built benchmarking tool to compare up to 250 organizations to their peers or executive compensation for personnel with specific roles. The tool has both web-based and downloadable Excel reports, and allows you to download all of the raw data to construct the benchmarking results as well. The benchmarking tools also includes the ability to export the past five years of financials on thousands of organizations as once, to provide the raw data you need to conduct your own analysis.
What does "data enrichment" include?
Our data enrichment tools include our
CSV Upload Tool, which allows you to upload and match rows from a CSV file to corresponding entities in Cause IQ. With this, you can filter down to specific types of organizations or augment with additional columns and export. Its typical uses are for finding out which organizations in an attendee list are worth pursuing further, augmenting CRM records, and finding whitespace opportunities by cross-referencing searches against your existing records.
Does Cause IQ integrate with Salesforce?
Yes! Cause IQ also has an API-based
Salesforce integration, which is available for an extra fee. Our Salesforce integration allows you to both create and update Leads, Contacts, or Accounts in Salesforce, either individually or in bulk.
Do you have discounts for more than one user?
Yes! For our Pro Subscription, each addition user is just $1,250 annually (or $1,000 for nonprofits). For more than five users, our Enterprise Subscription is recommended.
Do you have a discount for paying upfront?
For our Core Subscription, yes! If you pay upfront for a year, our Core Subscription is just $1,999 (or $999 for nonprofits), which is basically two months free.
Can I export data in bulk with the Core Subscription?
Yes! You can export data in bulk, but we will charge you for each record (i.e., row) exported. Each record costs $0.50, so a spreadsheet report with 250 organizations would cost $125. Pro Subscriptions do not charge per export, and there are no hard caps on number of exported records.
How can I download grant lists and foundation data?
Our foundation search tool allows you to drill down on specific types of foundations and grants. To download these lists (up to 3,000 foundations or grants per download), our Pro Subscription is required. This also allows you to download lists of key personnel and board members at the foundations. Please note that we do not currently offer ad-hoc exports of grant and foundation data for Core subscribers.
What is a record?
A record is an individual organization or person exported from Cause IQ -- a row in a spreadsheet -- regardless of the number of fields (i.e., columns) on that organization or person.
Can I export the same record more than once?
Are there limits on exporting for Pro or Enterprise?
You can export as many organizations and personnel as you want. However, we do limit each export to 3,000 records, to protect the overall experience of other Cause IQ users. As part of the export wizard, you can exclude records that you previously exported, to help you download the records that you want.
Can a license be shared?
No. However, if you need to delegate access to your Cause IQ account for a specific task or project, that is okay. If you're looking to have many colleagues using Cause IQ, our Enterprise Plan is a great value.
Do you have an API?
Yes! Our API is available as part of the Pro and Enterprise Subscriptions, and provides access to programmatic searches and organization profiles.
Check out the documentation.
