APRA WISCONSIN

Who We Are

Apra Wisconsin traces its roots back to 1985, when it was a loosely affiliated group, calling itself Wisconsin Development Researchers (WDR). In 1996, WDR reorganized as APRA-WI and aligned itself with APRA International. Inspired by Apra International's mission, Apra Wisconsin serves as a regional leader for engagement, collaboration, education, resource sharing, and advocacy among professionals dedicated to philanthropy, particularly those whose strategic use of data and information drives their organizations' success.

Apra Wisconsin has approximately 45 members, representing institutions of higher education, health care organizations, social service agencies, environmental protection and conservation groups, and independent prospect research contractors. We are diverse in both industry and geography.

Apra Wisconsin typically hosts two annual chapter conferences and has a long history of featuring the best-known national speakers in the prospect research field. The conferences provide an opportunity for our members to share best practices and to network.
