Gift Capacity Engine & Knowledge Platform

Built by financial analysts for prospect researchers, Code-fi is a first of its kind platform that increases the ease, reach and accuracy of gift capacity ratings

Jonathan Jeffery

Co Founder - Financial Analyst, Author & Academic, says:

“Working with the philanthropy sector we could see common challenges prospect researchers faced; reliable income data for senior roles, salaries, bonuses, dividends & Long Term Rewards, a lack of international data and learning complex analysis like share valuations, compounded wealth or fund returns. This can lead to underestimating, overestimating or missing prospects entirely. Unless you have the data, tools and years of training of a financial analyst, this is easy to do!

Rather than trying to solve this by building a database of qualified prospects that will never cover everyone or always stay up to date at the point of need, we thought it much better to equip researchers with the right data, tools and knowledge they need to make their own accurate assessments. This means they can research anyone, anywhere, any time!

Code-fi encompasses all this and more, giving researchers a real boost in confidence and effectiveness.”

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Code-fi is annual subscription giving unlimited access to all the tools, data and knowledge support services

  • Code-fi is suitable for beginner or advanced researchers alike. Those with less experience will benefit greatly from having all wealth data mapped, making gift capacity analysis easy - it is also a great training tool! Those with more experience can use Code-fi to qualify complex prospects, opening up new channels for prospecting, see the question on project ideas

  • Code-fi only needs basic career information to provide users with an informed gift capacity for your prospect. If a prospect is associated with a company, like being an owner, basic company financials from something like Zoom Info (for US) or Companies House (for UK), will allow users to get that bit more out of the tool. Otherwise there is a proprietary Predictor built into Code-fi allowing for any missing information to be predicted using established financial analyst methodologies.

  • Fundraisers are often faced with making big gift asks of wealthy prospects who own complex assets or work in specialist careers. Code-fi helps fundraisers understand the assets and careers of their prospects through its Academy and propriety tools like the Ask Planner or Profiles. These help fundraisers understand the daily concerns of their prospects, what funds may be more liquid right now, and to better time asks during more lucrative periods of business life cycles.
