Cause IQ

Cause IQ provides a web-based platform with detailed information on the nonprofit sector, designed to help other companies grow their nonprofit client base and to assist nonprofits in finding funding. Their extensive database includes profiles on over 1.8 million nonprofit organizations and contains information on key personnel, board members, and vendors. The primary customers are accounting firms, technology companies, financial services firms, and other businesses that provide services to nonprofits. The platform exposes professional information such as names, job titles, and email addresses of individuals associated with these nonprofit organizations. While this data is intended for B2B marketing and lead generation, its availability could be misused for targeted phishing scams, spam, or other unsolicited contact. Individuals can request to have their personal information removed from the database and can opt-out of future data collection. To further protect their information, individuals should be mindful of the professional details they share publicly online.
