If yours is a small to mid-sized nonprofit, you likely can't afford to spend the money to hire someone to do research on your major donors. Even larger organizations may not have dedicated research staff. The good news is that you can find out plenty by just using public information, readily found on the internet. Join us as we find this information, from social media to geodemographic information - to, in some cases, actual annual compensation. At the end we will discuss the ethical and proper use of the information we gather. Learn how to do better (or start doing) research and make sure those you are trying to reach are the best prospects.
Most ALDE webinars are updated versions of the most popular sessions from previous conferences, but this is a webinar EXCLUSIVE. You haven't heard it, and can't hear it, anywhere else, so be sure to sign up now!
