Identify Database
High-Quality Data for Association Development
Spend Time Fulfilling Your Mission – Not Wrangling Your Data
Effective association management depends upon the ability to leverage your data to guide strategic development and support your members. Ringgold ensures your data is fit for purpose: standardized, interoperable, and suitable for decision support.

Ringgold’s Identify Database covers them all, providing you a curated global reference file of over 600,000 organizations, complete with metadata to provide additional insight into your constituents. By helping to transform data into an asset, Ringgold can empower associations to support their members and achieve their missions.
