Prospect Research Workshop
Howard Lake | 5 September 2013 | News
A one-day introductory workshop on prospect research will be delivered by leading researchers, Rebecca Funnell of Telos Research and Robin Jones of Milestone Research, in London on Thursday 14th November 2013.
Prospect research is crucial in helping fund-raisers identify and profile likely sources of funding. If you are considering incorporating prospect research into your fund-raising activities, or you are a fund-raiser who needs to do your own research into your prospects, or if you are a newly-appointed prospect researcher, this course is for you.
There has never been so much information available to us, so much so that it can feel overwhelming. With this in mind, Rebecca and Robin will guide you through the myriad sources of information to give you the most efficient approach and the best resources.

This day will focus on researching high net worth individuals, but will also be useful to trust and corporate fund-raisers, as for all but the most structured giving frameworks, the best route into a funder is usually through an individual.
At the end of the day you’ll go away armed with the tools to draft your own research plan and the knowledge of sources you’ll need to face your next fund-raising research challenge as well as a useful handout, including a sources list.
