TrueGivers & Little Green Light Integration

The integration between TrueGivers and Little Green Light was created to keep your database updated automatically with CASS/DPV/NCOA/RDI, Deceased Information, and Individual & Household Data Enhancements. The process is streamlined and easy to set up.

  1. Register and setup your database for the integration
  2. TrueGivers downloads your database and processes daily
  3. TrueGivers synchronizes the results with your database automatically overnight

TrueGivers will update your Data Stewardship Dashboard when we find new data, which offers insights into the potential impact the data can have on your organization. The report also includes an analysis of cost savings you receive through a TrueGivers integration.

Download your Database

When you have finished registering for the TrueGivers and Little Green Light integration, TrueGivers will start downloading your data immediately. We will retrieve Account Information and Address details. These will be accessed by TrueGivers over a secure connection. During download, you will see the count of Total Records increasing in the Total Records card located on the top left corner of your Data Stewardship Dashboard.

The total records count includes a count of Individual Accounts from your database. This count can include records that have partial name pieces or partial address pieces. The other Data Stewardship Dashboard cards may not populate until after your database is processed for the first time.

Process your Database

After your records have been downloaded, we automatically send them to be processed through following data services:

  • CASS/DPV - All of your addresses will be hygiened to comply with USPS standards.
  • NCOA (National Change of Address) - All of your names and addresses will be processed against the USPS NCOA 18/48 month update file. New addresses will be added and old addresses will be archived.
  • RDI (Residential Delivery Indicator) - All of your addresses will be flagged to indicate if the delivery address is a residence or commercial location.
  • Vacancy & Other Address Services - All of your addresses will be flagged to indicate if the delivery address is mailable.
  • Deceased - Any deceased individuals or households will be flagged with a confidence, date, and obituary link.
  • Real Estate & Individual Data Enhancements - Individual and household records will be enhanced with third-party and curated data. We're always adding new ones, so be sure to check the data dictionary.

When your database has completed processing, your Data Stewardship Dashboard will refresh. You will now see your Data Stewardship Dashboard cards have updated. Plus a new row of cards have appeared. These Synchronize cards will give you specific details about the changes that will happen when we synchronize to your database.

Review your Data Stewardship Dashboard

As we identify changes, we populate the dashboard with high level analysis of your database. This helps you evaluate your organization's data health. In mere minutes, we'll finish a full scan. This allows TrueGivers to synchronize records in your database with current addresses, deceased information, and Individual & Household Data Enhancements.
