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

We need help re-connecting with a list of 1,200+ past corporate volunteers to ask for their support for our #GivingTuesdayNow campaign. Our team is hoping to use these connections to help raise funds to meet the growing needs of the families we serve who are struggling as a result of COVID19.

What we have in place
  • We currently have a spreadsheet with names and e-mail addresses, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have a dedicarted staff member who can provide support, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $2,494 , allowing us to use these funds to keeping essential services and programs running.

Our team is really hoping to connect with a few new funding prospects this year and expand our donor base of young professionals. We think this project will help us accomplish this goal.

Good Shepherd Services is a nonprofit that helps young people growing up in poverty find opportunities for success. We envision a New York City where children grow up in thriving neighborhoods, and all individuals and families can build on their strengths to realize their fullest potential. The agency's signature service models include a transfer high school model, the LifeLink college access and retention program, and community-based family counseling/foster care prevention programs.
