With only two months remaining in 2016, many fundraisers at colleges and non-profits are increasingly focused on securing important end of year donations. Timing can be everything, so identifying prospects who have recently come across large amounts of cash is a critical ingredient to a successful yearend.

Donor Watch's latest market report includes more than 8.2 thousand executives who sold $11.6 billion in stock during the third quarter of 2016. Topping the list are executives from the Pacific Coast ($3.9B), Southern ($2.3B) and Mid-Atlantic ($2.2B) states.

Executives from Seattle, San Jose, Silicon Valley and downtown San Francisco, drove the Pacific states to the top of the list. The Southern region was powered by executives from Dallas, Houston, Atlanta and Austin. while the Mid-Atlantic region was powered by Manhattan, Newark and the Baltimore suburbs.

Top prospects from the Southern region include R. Stephen "Steve" Stagner of Texas and Richard "Rick" Smith of Georgia.

In addition to renowned philanthropists, the list also includes thousands of lesser known millionaires who are often more discreet about their wealth and philanthropy efforts.
