PROSPECT RESEARCH
Using the latest on-line tools and our own extensive database, PDA combs millions of records to identify prospective donors - corporations, foundations, and individuals - whose interests and resources meet your needs.
WARMING "COLD" PROSPECTS
Networking works! PDA uses proven techniques to identify contacts who can solicit your new prospects successfully.
APPROACHING INDIVIDUAL DONORS
"People give to people," but they have to be the right people; PDA targets the right solicitors, trains them, and helps them get the meeting.
SOLICITATION
PDA can be with you at the "ask," helping to guide the conversation and overcome objections. We know what to ask for and how to turn a "no" into a "yes."

Doctors Without Borders
This global volunteer medical relief organization (with over 400 doctors in 84 countries), the winner of the 1999 Nobel Peace Price, retained PDA to strengthen its major-gifts fundraising activities and development of new sources of funding. PDA's focus involved the development of new proposals, corporate and foundation prospect research, fundraising for general support and special projects, and the training of development personnel.Sesame Workshop
PDA initiated work with Sesame Workshop to undertake a major fundraising initiative to re-launch Rechov Sumsum, and Shalom Sesame, which seeks to promote respect for cultural diversity in Israel and provide a window into the rich history and heritage of Israel and Judaism for youngsters in the U.S. Through prospect research, grant writing, and providing strategic guidance the workshop was able to raise millions towards this initiative
