Research Track Session:
The 10 Most Important Things You Need to Know about Major Donor Research
(Plus, your questions answered.)

As you adjust to the new normal and a more thinly-staffed development department, researching donors and prospects is more important than ever in order to maximize your time and resources. Poonam Prasad, President of New York City-based consulting firm Prasad Consulting & Research, reveals the mysteries of expensive and similar-sounding online wealth identification databases, free websites, and other resources. Is Googling good enough or must you invest mega dollars to bring in major gifts in today's challenging environment?

You'll learn:

• How prospect research can help your organization to maximize donor potential.
• Beyond Google; how to recognize good research, and which research tools to invest in.
• Tips for maximum efficiency and accuracy.
