PROSPECT RESEARCH
The fundraising climate for nonprofits is often challenging due to struggles like donor fatigue, growing competition for the same resources, and limited funding as government and philanthropic contributions stagnate or decline.
Often development shops are understaffed or over extended with little to no time to compile data-based prospect research.
Your data tells a compelling story. SCOUTs are experts at reading its language. We skillfully sift through data clutter to spot strategic opportunities just waiting to be explored and implemented. Through research we can learn the background story of current donors, identify new prospects for the pipeline and determine effective cultivation strategies to help organizations raise more money.
Let SCOUT leverage the data to tell the story to make strong and strategic connections.
“Data, I think, is one of the most powerful mechanisms for telling stories. I take a huge pile of data and I try to get it to tell stories.”
– Steven Levitt, Co-author of Freakonomics
“I learned that people are more likely to entrust the story of their lives if they feel that I care about them, that I know something about them, and can comprehend what they’re telling me. So part of the reason I prepare so much is to be worthy of the person I’m interviewing.”
