Prospect Development Excellence
PRIMED: Prospects-Researched, Identified and Managed for Engaged Development™
PRIMED for Success! centers on PRIMED, a branded, holistic, data-driven framework that integrates prospect research and prospect management, reporting, analytics, and training so prospect development becomes a highly visible strategic asset that systematically supports, and consistently advances, institutional fundraising priorities.
Proven in High-Stakes Campaigns
PRIMED was developed and tested while supporting George Mason University's comprehensive campaign, which achieved more than $670 million against a $500 million goal. The initiative earned CASE International and CASE III Platinum Awards for Best Practices in Advancement Services, validating PRIMED as a rigorous, field-tested model rather than a theoretical prospect development concept.
