Prospect Research

FreePint has a new service called FUMSI - for people who "Find, Use, Manage and Share Information". It publishes articles, tools, and a monthly magazine, to provide practical guidance in using and finding information.

In the January issue, Matt Ide writes about Prospect Research: Finally Coming of Age

Describes the work of researchers in the charity sector who do research to identify potential donors or funders, and provides tips and a list of resources for prospect researchers. One of these is Ide's own fResource with "600 resources, both free and subscription, that provide information on everything from finding addresses, postcodes and telephone numbers, right through to corporate databases, rich lists, news sites and publications."
