Resources

Here are some useful Professional Development resources.

“I depend on Yahoo! Finance for public company information.  It is easy to search, gives current stock prices, historical information, corporate profiles, and best of all, insider information all for free!” -- Tia Guinivan, Associate Director of Development Information at F & M College.

"The Dataquick Property Finder (with ClickComps) allows for nationwide property record searches.  “Dataquick is a superior tool for locating multiple properties and mortgage information for a prospect.  It can also help you find your ‘stubbornly lost’ constituents.”  -- Tom Hampsey, PREP/APRA President and Director of Development Research at Lafayette College.

“AlumnFinder is helpful to find address information, family relationships, business information, birthdates, and other miscellaneous info. Another fee-based site that I use is ObituaryRegistry.com.  In addition to being able to search the site for deceased alums, I receive weekly updates of those who have died and have the word “Ursinus” in the obituary.” -- Patti Phillips, PREP/APRA Vice President and Conference Director and Director of Advancement Services at Ursinus College. 

"The old version of LexisNexis is comprehensive and very user friendly and I am looking forward to discovering the advantages of the revamped service." -- Diana Cashman, PREP/APRA Secretary and Development Researcher at Messiah College.

"I use both WealthEngine and iWAVE. I like the ease of use of both products and the abundant information that can be obtained with little effort. I use them daily,” -- John Luvisi, PREP/APRA Treasurer and Director of Grants & Prospect Research at Alvernia College.

" I like Foundation Search better than other sources of foundation funding information because of the number of ways you can search, as well as how the search can be refined word by word,” Trial periods are generous; customer service and online help are great!  If you subscribe for three years, it is only slightly more than other similar services and you get so much more.” -- Dor Remsen, Membership Director and Manager of Communications & Research at Bloomsburg University Foundation.

"www.newspaperlinks.com gives you access to national and international newspapers and you can view the desired newspaper free!” -- Maureen Eisenhard, PREP/APRA Lending Library Director and Development Research Analyst at Lehigh University.
