One of the things that makes me so proud of our profession is the way we so eagerly share tips, tools, tactics, and techniques with each other. At APRA International and chapter conferences, you can just feel the excitement in the rooms. Even in webinars and tweetchats, there’s still a vibe somehow.

So in honor of #ResearchPride month, my colleague Elizabeth Roma and I recorded a video podcast for you on researching grant-makers, including foundations and donor-advised funds. Here’s our webinar on “Researching Foundations” – we hope you enjoy it:

Here at HBG, we’re also preparing for more teaching this spring and summer:

• In April, I’ll be leading a panel on relationship management at the NEDRA conference. Tara McMullen will also be moderating a panel on “Ten Years of Prospect Research, Management and Data at MIT.”
• In July, there will be two teaching teams from HBG at the APRA conference! Angie Stapleton and I will lead a half-day workshop on “Advanced Web Searching,” and Elizabeth Roma and Rachel Dakarian will be ripping news from the headlines on high net worth individuals in their session “Strategic Vision for Today’s Philanthropic Realities.”

We hope you can join us. We’re excited to be sharing our knowledge and looking forward to learning from you, too.
