Apra Florida brings prospect research tools to local nonprofits
Florida, May 21, 2019 | At its educational webinar today, Apra Florida announced the launch of its Research Capacity Building Program in partnership with the Prospect Research Institute and DonorSearch.
“So many nonprofits are ready to step up their fundraising and ask for more strategic gifts, but don’t have the internal research expertise to get there. This program delivers wraparound support to build those skills,” said Kim Walz, Apra Florida board member in charge of Professional Development.
Leveraging Data and Research to Power Fundraising
Universities and big hospital systems have been at the forefront of prospect research practices, but more recently, the accessibility of information technology, such as the DonorSearch research platform, puts best-in-class prospect research within reach of many more nonprofits.
“Lots of smaller nonprofits are assigning prospect research tasks to administrative staff without any training. What this program does is give that staff member the resources, skill-building, and peer support to develop prospect research methods that will deliver better fundraising results,” said Jen Filla, Prospect Research Consultant and CEO of the Prospect Research Institute.
“At DonorSearch, we are committed to making powerful research tools and key prospect information accessible to all nonprofits, regardless of size. We keep adding more functionality and data sources to our online research toolset. Through this partnership, we’ll enable Florida nonprofits to leverage that power for good,” said Bill Tedesco, CEO of DonorSearch.
