IFI now offers customized classes in international prospect research. These classes are delivered online and tailored to the professional development needs of researchers within one research shop at a time.
Why are customized classes needed? There are two main reasons.
First, every institution has a different geographic focus for international fundraising efforts. When I teach webinars and conference workshops, I have cover international prospect research techniques and strategies in a broad way, in order to provide information of interest to a wide range of researchers with prospects in countries all over the world. In customized classes, however, I will be able to go into depth about the research resources and strategies most useful for the countries where my students will be focusing their efforts.
Second, the international prospect research experience of researchers varies widely. These customized, small group classes will let me tailor instruction to the professional development needs of my students in a way that is just not possible in a larger class or webinar setting.
My first round of customized classes will start later this month. I will be teaching a series of four classes for a university prospect research office here in the US.
Would your research office benefit from customized training in international prospect research? If so, I would love to hear from you. Please send me an email to receive more information.
