Research and Prospect Development provides relevant, quality information and analysis to development officers to assist them in building lifetime donor relationships with our alumni and friends.

Our role is accomplished by:

  • Proactively identifying potential donors and indicating their ability, access, and affinity.
  • Providing analysis of information gathered on prospects and working with development staff to determine the best strategies for moving forward.
  • Tracking the cultivation, solicitation and stewardship activity of our prospective and current donors.
