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

We need to know if resources exist that can help us access our client's knowledge/ability to use a computer/technology. Also, is there curriculum available that would help us educate our clients who need to learn basic computer skills?

What we have in place
  • We currently have some dedicated volunteers onsite who have started research, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have a helpful staff, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $4,324 , allowing us to serve more meals and provide more educational resources to the very low income families of the greater Mercer County, NJ area.

TASK aims to help our patrons toward self-sufficiency and improve quality of life. If we can improve our computer education program, we will give our patrons more opportunities to obtain better jobs and also improve quality of life by teaching people how to take advantage of technology that is available to them.

Testimonials

I assigned my associate, Calmia, to the online research project and she expressed that working with Nancy was a pleasure. Calmia said that Nancy was very knowledgeable, attentive, and thorough, delivering many options for TASK to consider. Nancy also had some familiarity with TASK, our mission, and it was evident that she had our best interest at heart, even going so far as to negotiate lower prices to make it as affordable for us as possible!
