Elizabeth Crabtree Prospect Research Guru Mr APRA President
Penelope Burke Fundraising Guru
Empowering the Researcher In the US, 3 out of 4 of donors make a much smaller gift than they can Research analysis can change this
Evolution of Research Traditional research Strategic pro-active research Case study: Georgetown University Research beyond development Change of strategy Increased engagement Increased donations
Freeing up your time • Crisp and conciseprofiles • Too much information = unnatural relationship • No need to footnote everything • Research adequate to the fundraiser’s needs • Use a template • Use push technology
More analysis and leveraging the information to help direct strategy • Strategic research projects • Reducing time spent on reactive research • Time spent = more proactive research and a better prospect management system
