We use sources of publicly available information to identify and target potential individual and organizational funders who's philanthropic interests match with your nonprofits mission. Then, through further information research and analysis, we build comprehensive personal and professional profiles on those prospects/donors that enable you and your team to match the right funders with the right funding initiatives and begin building relationships with them.
