Orbit review
A focused UK research database for qualifying corporate, trustee and major-gift prospects.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Orbit is a UK-focused prospect research platform from Pyro.Solutions for fundraisers and philanthropy professionals. Its scope covers major-gift, mid-level, corporate, trust and foundation fundraising across nonprofit organizations of different sizes. Research can be conducted using names, dates of birth, locations, postcodes or companies, with records spanning directors, shareholders, charities, trustees and corporate information. The result is a product aimed at teams that need structured intelligence for identifying and qualifying donors, rather than a general-purpose fundraising system.
The standout capability is the combination of wealth intelligence and prospect qualification. Orbit provides automated wealth and gift-capacity ratings, wealth-level segmentation, corporate gift-capacity analysis and charitable activity assessment. It also brings together financial information with research on trusts, foundations, charities and trustees. These features give corporate and trustee prospect researchers several ways to narrow a pool, assess likely capacity and organize prospects for follow-up. Prospect list building and export support teams that need to move from research into internal review or fundraising workflows.
Orbit uses a contact-sales pricing model, with visitors directed toward a brochure or demo. That approach is suited to nonprofit teams evaluating a specialist research database against their fundraising requirements, but it places the buying process around a sales conversation rather than a self-serve plan. The product’s UK focus is a natural fit for organizations researching UK wealth, corporate and philanthropic connections; teams needing a broader geographic remit may prefer a platform positioned around other markets. Orbit should appeal to fundraisers who prioritize corporate, trustee and wealth research, while teams seeking campaign execution or a wider donor-engagement suite should look elsewhere.
