Overview

Prospect research identifies potential sources of financial support by transforming a wide range of information into functional intelligence for fundraising.  Research is limited to publicly available sources such as news articles and online databases, in addition to self-reported or institutional information that is kept strictly confidential.  St. Norbert College Advancement Services maintains prospect research policies and procedures in accordance with the APRA Code of Ethics and the CASE Donor Bill of Rights.
