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
What we have in place
  • We need your research skills to help explore solutions for virtual assistance. We receive many phone inquiries from people needing our help with their taxes. Is there a virtual assistant solution for us to help answer the common questions and screen clients? This would save us a bundle of time!
How this will help
This project will save us $5,239 , allowing us to help more people with low income.

If you can help us to find a cost effective solution it can save us hundreds of hours of staff time.
