Trusted insights, right on time.
Creating change is hard enough. Getting answers shouldn’t be.
Our Purpose
You need answers.
Your day is already full.
The board wants numbers. A grant deadline is near. A policy shifts overnight.
Finding an answer is only the beginning. Checking where it came from, knowing whether it’s current, and sorting what matters takes time your team doesn’t have.
501 Research provides on-demand research and research reports for busy nonprofit teams, supporting fundraising, programs, policy work, and organizational planning.
Our Process
Set up once.
Ask anytime.
Our Pricing
Hourly Research
We offer research on an hourly basis. Once your organization is set up, you can request research whenever you need it. There are no long-term commitments. You’re billed only for the time it takes to complete your request.
Research Reports
We also offer a set of flat-rate research reports for clearly defined projects. These include advocacy briefs, major event scans, and more. Each report comes with a set scope and fee, so you’ll know exactly what’s included before we begin.
Our Standards
01Sourced
Every finding links back to an original source. Where available, archived copies of source pages and original data files are included.
02Checked by a person
Each finding is confirmed against its source, including figures, definitions, and context.
03Dated
Every file is dated, so you always know how current the information is.
04Organized
Findings are arranged around your question, ready to share with your team or board.
05Observational
Findings are presented as they stand, so your team draws its own conclusions.
