Prospect Research

Project details

What we need
  • Research into ideal funder profile(s) and list of sources
  • Development of a list of prospects (up to 15) that fit that ideal funder profile, including contact information when applicable and list of sources
  • Recommendations on areas for further exploration/research
Additional details

Nonprofit New York has expanded into advocacy and policy work and we are looking for help finding new funders to support this new direction we are going into.

What we have in place
  • We currently have advocacy and policy projects and a current funder list, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have a list of funders we've reached out too in the past, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $2,494 , allowing us to spend more time and effort in outreach instead of prospecting.

This project will enable us to move forward with outreach and succeed in reaching our fundraising goals to ensure the work gets completed.
