Matthew - thank you so much - I was so hoping you would find my question - I value your opinion.

It sounds like I MUST have Prospect. We are relatively small - a budget of 1.5 mil, serving about 900 kids a year. Our funding right now is grant-heavy, and our new CDO is ready to do some donor cultivating. She dubbed me Prospect Researcher and gave me a book, and she just points me at a possible donor and I try to find out what I can. Very hit or miss.

I tried contacting my BB Rep yesterday - haven't heard anything yet....I think the one they gave me is in charge of reinstatements. I haven't even a clue what Prospect costs.... but I am going to price it and then work on a grant for it - yeah - I have to do some of that stuff too.

I really appreciate all the advice that I get from the BUS.

Thanx
