FAQ

How is HF Absolute different from other prospect research databases?

We are people, not bots. We can ascertain context from data and focus on what is true.

Please see the sample database profile to understand why it is not helpful. It simply aggregates data for every David Brown in the world and fails to provide analysis.


How do you source your off-line data?

Our professionals have over five decades of combined fundraising experience. We use our extensive networks to obtain information about your prospect, when possible.


How reliable is the off-line data?

As with anything that relies on human observation, there is a subjectivity to the data. However, we try to obtain multiple perspectives to give you the best picture of the person.


What if my prospect is not connected to anyone in your network?

We tell you simply and honestly if this is the case, and then provide the highest level of research and analysis to create the in-depth prospect profile you require.


What data do you need to create a profile?

Generally, we require one or two data points such as home address, employment, or similar identifying fact. For more common names, we may need a few more data points.


What is the turnaround time?

Generally, we can produce a profile within 24 hours of the request. For more complex research subjects, the process can take up to 48 hours.

For wealth scaling, we will provide a firm estimate of delivery time.


Is there a long-term commitment?

You may cancel the service at any time before the date of your next billing cycle.
