TESTIMONIALS
"Your research is a wonderful source of information. We have found it easy to use and extremely helpful"
Bob Baker, President & CEO Vaughan Healthcare
March 2011
"Terry has been making ground breaking contributions to the fundraising
field in North America for many years. As the founder of Rainforest
Publications (now iWave) he changed the landscape of online information
services.
As the founder of Dig In Research, Terry has built the
only database of naming gifts, an essential resource for those looking
to understand the market for transformational giving and measure their
own capital campaign efforts against those of similar institutions in
the US, Canada and beyond.
As an educator and author, Terry
continues to challenge and guide us. Any one in fundraising would
benefit from Terry Burton's insights. I recommend him highly."

About the Company
Hello and welcome to Dig In Research
We are a dedicated group that loves to dig into the background data, the kind of work you often don't have time to do.
Our
monthly reports offers you a snapshot of recent market activity while
others provide you with insights on emerging trends in the market.
I love to work on projects that help deliver a strategic
advantage to my clients.
How do I do that? By using a methodology of research,
offering insightful analysis and recommendations for
your action plans.
Since
1989 I have been directly involved in providing strategic information
to non-profit organizations, what many people call business
intelligence.

Assistance for Philanthropic Advisors
Major gift donors are becoming more demanding in quest for knowledge before
making a decision about a major gift to a nonprofit organization.
The Major Gifts Resource Centre can help Philanthropic Advisors with background
information, quickly and effectively.
Nonprofit Sector
Some of our members join to have access to our Major Gifts Database, while others
ask us to take on consulting work. Some want us to help refine and or develop a
naming policy that is more suitable for current market conditions.
What do you need?
Let’s start with a phone call and go from there. You can reach our office by calling
