If you plan to visit the Foundation Center library/learning center to use our prospect research resources mentioned in an earlier blog post, note that we have just acquired the latest edition of Prospect Research Fundamentals. While not as detailed as Cecilia Hogan’s Prospect Research: A Primer for Growing Nonprofits, visitors who are pressed for time may find that the 48-page booklet contains enough guidance to get started. Several experts contribute tips on:
-hiring prospect researchers
-using call reports
-developing a cultivation plan
-keeping track of prospect data
-researching individuals, foundations, and corporations
-rating prospects
-using technology
You will find several sample forms and documents as well.
Prospect Research Fundamentals, 3rd was edited by Michel Hudson and published by Stevenson, Inc.

The prospect research library that you create, maintain, or augment has four essential features in common with your local public library. First, the resources in the prospect research library are organized so that they are readily accessible. Second, the resources are historical as well as current, creating opportunities to draw pictures of the past and the present. Third, there is an established checkout procedure for resources to leave the library. And last, the library materials are located in a place where people can use them with minimal distractions.
