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 currently have an extensive list of companies that have pledged 1% of their earnings to nonprofit organizations. We need help sifting through this list to identify companies that are in line with our values and interests.

What we have in place
  • We currently have an expansive list of companies invested in charitable giving, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have a budding spreadsheet with current prospecting efforts, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $2,494 , allowing us to continue providing low-cost (no cost to many) and affordable youth empowerment and outdoor education to girls, trans, and gender non-conforming youth in our community.

We are a small nonprofit organization comprised of a team of five. We are looking to grow our relationship with like minded companies (focused on environmental justice, gender-based programming, outdoor education, women's health, youth empowerment, etc...) and could benefit from additional support in our efforts.
