Maria Semple

An experienced researcher, trainer and frequent speaker on the topic of prospect research, Maria Semple consults with both nonprofit organizations and financial services firms interested in finding their best prospects for long-term relationships—usually this means the high net-worth market.   In 2007, she authored two downloadable training manuals which include an extensive compilation of research resources.  Her firm, The Prospect Finder LLC, provides prospect research services and training seminars, helping organizations find their best prospects for long-term relationships.

She is a member of the Association of Professional Researchers for Advancement (APRA) where she has presented workshops on research resources used in the development process.  Past speaking engagements include:  Merrill Lynch,  Craigslist Foundation Boot-Camp, The Support Center for Nonprofit Management, Fund Raising Day in New York, the Mid-Atlantic Researchers Conference, New Jersey Conference on Philanthropy, New Jersey's Nonprofit Symposium  and the  Association of Fundraising Professionals (NJ).  

Prior to her work in this field, she was a securities dealer in a French investment bank.  These combined strengths enable her to help both nonprofit and financial services organizations to develop the depth and breadth of their reach to attain an even greater impact on their goals.

Maria successfully completed an intensive Grant Proposal Writing Workshop conducted by The Grantsmanship Center in New York, NY.  She is a graduate of Douglass College and fluent in both French and Italian.
