St. Norbert College is sponsoring the following AFP web conference: "Prospect Research: How to Use Philanthropy Data for the Most Effective Fundraising"

Philanthropy data is critical to a strategic solicitation with a major gift prospect. All nonprofits and fundraising consultants should have access to the latest technologies and philanthropy data available. This session includes research fundamentals, advanced research and data mining/prospect identification (of current individual, corporate and foundation donors/prospects as well as new, external sources). Beginning or 'accidental' prospect researchers will learn how to quickly and easily find philanthropy data. Advanced fundraising professionals will become more efficient and effective researchers. Affinity, capacity, planned giving potential and non-donor matches will be discussed. Participants will also receive a complimentary prospect research workbook, a profile template and the opportunity to do independent hands-on research at a later date.
