Let’s face it: prospect research is difficult. Those who have mastered it are truly artists, but not every nonprofit has access to a dedicated professional. For those wearing multiple hats, wealth screening tools, social media, and good-old-fashioned Google searches can only get you so far.
In this session, presented by Steven Shattuck, Chief Engagement Officer at Bloomerang, you'll explore prospect research strategies that build deeper, more meaningful relationships with donors. Participants will learn engagement strategies that enhance existing relationships, as well as uncover those with a propensity to give to your organization for the first time.

ALICE, or Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed (ALICE) uses data to create reports that provide research-based information to foster a better understanding of who is struggling in our communities.
ALICE represents the 27% of Pennsylvanians who work, but make less than what’s needed to afford basic essentials. ALICE often earns too much to qualify for government assistance and there is no room in ALICE’s budget for emergency expenses. If you combine PA households earning below the ALICE Threshold with those living below the FPL, that’s 39% of PA households who face financial hardship every day, in every county in PA. (2018 data).
