FRACTIONAL PROSPECT RESEARCH SERVICE

Your fundraising team needs prospect research — but perhaps not enough to justify another full-time position. Our Fractional Prospect Research Service gives your organization ongoing access to professional prospect research support on a flexible, part-time basis.

What Is Fractional Prospect Research?

Fractional prospect research allows your fundraising team to access research expertise when you need it, without the cost and commitment of hiring a full-time prospect researcher. We become an extension of your fundraising team, providing regular research support for priority prospects, fundraising opportunities, and emerging needs.

Depending on your organization, support can include Prospect Discovery Profiles, prospect qualification, capacity research, philanthropic research, database prospecting, private business valuation, and other customized prospect research projects.

What Makes This Service Different?

Fundraising research needs rarely arrive neatly as one large project. A major gift officer may suddenly need background on an important prospect. A new name may enter the pipeline. A campaign opportunity may require deeper research. Or your team may simply have more research requests than existing staff can handle.

Fractional support gives your team an ongoing research resource that can respond to those needs throughout the year. You gain experienced prospect research support while keeping the flexibility to determine where that research will have the greatest impact.

How Fractional Prospect Research Works

We begin by discussing your fundraising priorities, research needs and expected workload. Together, we establish an agreed level of ongoing support and determine the types of research that will provide the greatest value to your team. Research requests are then prioritized based on your fundraising needs, with regular communication to ensure our work stays focused on the prospects and opportunities that matter most.

The result is simple: more prospect research capacity for your fundraising team without adding another full-time position.
