Prospect Research

• Managing Central/ Donor Files - laying the groundwork for scanning by clearing duplicate documents from files

• Database Management - attaching research profiles, adding information for constituents such as biographical, employment, relationships, and comparing new research profiles to existing records

• Constituent Research – tracking demographic information on donors

• Review Media- UMass Academic Health Sciences Center and other UMass activities monitoring through Google Alerts

Gift Accounting

• Processing Returned Mail – researching new addresses, updating constituent records

• Quality Assurance Projects – finding anomalies, updating records, and making recommendations for other data projects

• Processing Gifts for Member Hospitals - Marlboro, Wing and Health Alliance – preparing deposit, researching gift allocations, posting gifts, organizing files

There will always be a data entry component, but we will vary the assignments to keep the student challenged and help them learn more about how fundraising operations work. If they like an overview of what we do here in the development office at UMass Medical School/UMass Memorial Health Care, they can visit our website:

Students with an interest in either in the healthcare or high education industries would benefit from an internship with us. Thank you!
