Research Guide Creation

Project details

What we need
  • A document outlining recommended sources of research including databases and websites, along with research tips for how to best stay on top of your industry information and citation help
What we have in place
  • We currently have many donors in the DFW area and a list of volunteers that work within these companies. We have dedicated staff that will assist you with anything you may need in this.
How this will help
This project will save us $5,848 , allowing us to impact more children within the community!

For this project, we would like to begin 2018 with a list of companies that offer employee giving programs, and make sure that we are included in these programs. This project will help us develop and contact that list to ensure that we begin 2018 with a strong network of community partners.
