Project details

What we need
  • A compilation of research on a specific topic (e.g. industry best practices, literature review, media contacts, industry trends, etc.) including a list of sources
  • Recommendations on areas for further exploration/research
  • Note: This project is not designed to be used for prospect or grant research
Additional details

Research top donors in our area (Lapeer, St. Clair, Oakland, Macomb Counties in Michigan).

What we have in place
  • We currently have A map of our service area with corresponding zip codes, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have a donor list to cross reference, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $5,239 , allowing us to spend on donor development events. We will invite the new prospects!

We have a small staff and having concentrated help identifying donor prospects would be of great help!
