Common to all successful fundraising progammes are the right leaders asking for the appropriate investment towards a compelling Case for Support. But how much is appropriate as an ask amount? Where might you find new potential donors and friends? Who are the corporate CEO's interested in your programme? What corporations support your nonprofit sector and your particular cause?

At DVA Navion, prospect research is an integral part of every fundraising programme. Experienced fundraising professionals have designed our Research Services over the last ten years. Comprised of fully dedicated staff with technologically-advanced research tools, DVA Navion's researches assist every client, not just those in capital campaigns, to be fully prepared well in advance of a fundraising solicitation.
