Prospect Research: A Primer for Growing Nonprofits SYNOPSIS
Non-profit organizations sometimes hire prospect researchers to identify and learn about potential donors to their organizations through examining publicly available information on corporate stock holdings, published donations, and other data. Hogan (a researcher for the U. of Puget Sound) offers a manual on prospect research, first describing the history, mission, and ethics of the practice. She then describes the identification of wealth and gift-giving habits and explains the different tools and methods of the prospect researcher. When discussing legal matters, the text is limited to U.S. realities. Annotation ©2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
