PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:
Welcome to the world of High Finance, where business transactions involve large amounts of money, a high degree of risk, or assets other than stock, bonds or cash ("alternatives").
This is the world that creates, maintains, and perpetuates a disproportionate number of personal fortunes in the US. Its activities touch virtually every affluent major prospect on the donor and prospect lists of every nonprofit organization.
It can also present an intimidating challenge for prospect researchers stymied by artful industry jargon, organization and fee structures, and eye-popping deal figures. Still, the better researchers understand this world, the more opportunities they can bring to light for the organizations they serve.
NEDRA is proud to invite you to join two of the field’s leading experts for a comprehensive survey of the financial services industry, curated for advancement researchers*.
The five two-hour long classes will include:
Class Descriptions
Class 1
Class 2
Class 3
Class 4
Class 5
*minimum 2 years in Prospect Research required
