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 are looking for a curious, talented, and diligent Online Researcher to research podcasts, blogs, hospitals/healthcare facilities and as able, public relations agencies with their contact information to be built into respective spreadsheets.

What we have in place
  • We are asking the Online Researcher to create 4 spreadsheets for - one of each - podcasts, blogs, hospitals/healthcare facilities and as able, public relations agencies with their contact information that the FriendshipWorks Communications Manager can use to reach out and establish a relationship in an effort to provide materials, contributions, and interviews to help elevate FriendshipWorks in media, communities, and healthcare settings.
How this will help
This project will save us $4,324 , allowing us to direct funding back into our service programs and focus our development efforts.

These outreach opportunities will be part of an overall strategic communications and outreach plan to position FriendshipWorks as a thought-leader and authority in the field of social isolation among older adults.

FriendshipWorks was a great organization to work for. Helena, whom I worked with from the Org, was very friendly and supportive. Additionally, the work that FriendshipWorks does to address elderly isolation is overlooked and incredibly important.
