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

Ignore the What We Need above. Using the list of suppliers I provide, the volunteer will make the initial contact via web portal or email to obtain an RFP contact. After the supplier(s) respond, the volunteer would send them an MNDA to complete and send back to ACS, then schedule an intro meeting with me so I may walk them through our sourcing process and timeline. Last, I would like each supplier's pricing methodology in a report to assist in the creation of a price sheet.

What we have in place
  • We currently have a list of potential suppliers to contact, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have a Sourcing Category Manager assigned, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $5,239 , allowing us to ,for example, provide 30 more overnight stays at one of our Hope Lodges or hotel partners for cancer patients receiving treatment and their caregivers, among other programs and services.

Data enrichment suppliers update, sort and analyze lists of their client's consumer and business contacts to increase the likelihood of generating new leads. These lists can include information such as prospect names, phone numbers, e-mail addresses, physical addresses and demographics. Data enrichment will ultimately help ACS with our fundraising goals.

Testimonials

Laura was fantastic again to work with; she was flexible with my crazy schedule due to a personal situation causing a delay in the start of the project. This is my second project with Laura and she does high quality work, consistently communicates and meets the deliverables on time or ahead of schedule.
