Online Research

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

Hello from the LA Arboretum Foundation! We are looking for new funding sources that can contribute to our operating funds and for a specific capital project. We would like to work with a volunteer who can come up with a list of potential funders (this focus is on foundation and corporate, but others are great, too) that might be interested to hear about the Arboretum's leadership in environmental sustainability in the greater Los Angeles area.

What we have in place
  • We have a dedicated staff member to work directly with you who will provide more information about the Arboretum's mission and the impact new funders can have. We want to find at least 10 new funders that accept new applications, fund operating and/or capital expenses, and fit our mission.
How this will help
This project will save us $5,239 , allowing us to focus limited staff resources on applying for grants and fostering meaningful relationships with our wonderful donors.

The Los Angeles Arboretum Foundation relies on community support to build more environmental stewards and foster an appreciation for nature in the greater Los Angeles area. These new potential funders will help the Arboretum continue its growth momentum.
