First big dataset I've worked with.  Very cool - and soooo much easier than in Excel

Perhaps should have linked the data to the field names in Excel, but I sidestepped by searching for and renaming the relevant fields by hand.

Process:
- Filtered charity names for State (Field 4) = CO
- Filtered 990 data with flag from formula tool (combining criteria with ANDs to set prospect flag
- Joined data to names/addreses
- Calculated fundraising efficiency ratio and sorted the 3 final prospects

Yielding "A Precious Child Inc." as the winner.
