When you need experienced prospect research, prospect management, fundraising analytics, and due diligence research that you can trust, we’re here for you.
Since 2005 we have worked with over 1,000 organizations worldwide, ranging from small community arts centers and youth organizations to land and wildlife conservation, public media, museums and performing arts centers, hospitals and major medical research centers, universities, international relief organizations, and everything in between.
In each case, our client’s mission and research needs were unique and our solutions were specific to them.
We listen carefully to understand your fundraising needs and provide the right personnel and strategy to provide you with the information you’ll need to meet those goals.
We provide a variety of solutions, but most clients hire us for our four main services:
- For a dedicated consultant to work alongside you. Research, prospect management, data insight, and due diligence – your long-term and short-term priorities become ours, too. Three month minimum at a set price per month.
- For à la carte reports – full profiles, snapshots, wealth & philanthropy reports, enhanced screening dossiers and due diligence reports. Set price per profile.
- For data insight (analytics) projects, including RFM analyses, inclination scoring, post-wealth screening verification and list building, portfolio analysis and predictive modeling. Set price per project.
- For wealth screening projects, we provide “wrap around” services to provide assistance in formatting and submitting data to your wealth screening partner, prioritizing initial results upon return, and providing additional analysis and research to assure data is both actionable and accurate.
Dedicated Consulting Support
We match consultants on our team with dedicated clients based on interest and skill, so each partnership is based on a shared dedication for each client’s mission and knowledge to help you be successful.
Whether it’s research, prospect management, data analytics, or due diligence (or all of these interwoven), you will have the benefit of a dedicated research partner, a back bench of HBG colleagues with a wide variety of experience, and an unsurpassed resource library supporting our work together.
A la carte reports
We provide a variety of reports, from in-depth profiles to wealth & philanthropy briefings. Or you can just come to us with a specific research question, and we’ll provide a memo (or full-length analysis!) to answer that question.
- Profiles, Snapshots and Wealth & Philanthropy reports – we’ve designed our profile formats based on experience and client feedback to meet your needs.
- Due diligence research – when you need to be absolutely sure that a donor is a suitable fit for your nonprofit.
- Just have a quick information request? No problem – we’re happy to help.
Data Insight (Analytics)
We’re the only consulting group providing analytics and dedicated research so that you get the information you need on top prospects identified through data insight. Our goal is for you to join our other DI clients in saying that you have “never had such a positive experience” or “gotten more out of the process.”
We don’t do what we call ‘dump and run’ analytics projects. We listen to hear what you need, we work collaboratively throughout the process, and we’re always available afterwards if you have questions or need more research on great prospects found.
- We explain exactly what we’re doing along the way – in plain English.
- We return results that are easy to understand and to use.
- We provide you with follow up research however it works for you – à la carte or dedicated consulting (or no follow-on research at all).
Wealth Screening Assistance
We’re not a wealth screening company, but we will help you get the most out of your screening investment.
We love wealth screenings because they provide a great deal of information that would take someone years to find on a database of constituents. But it’s a lot of data to go through, and many of the records will contain false matches.
To get the best return on your investment you need research staff to verify and make experience-based judgment calls on the results, and to dig deeper into the great prospects hidden in that ‘Tier 2’ group. If you don’t have internal staff to do that, we’re here to help.
