HOW ARE REQUESTS FOR PRO BONO RESEARCH SUBMITTED?

Research requests are made by social workers or non-profit organizations on behalf of their individual patients or clients by submitting a research application describing the request. As soon as possible upon receipt of the application we will advise whether we think we can help.

Please contact us for more information. If the need is urgent, be sure to alert us.

I NEED TO FIND MY FAMILY. HOW DO I ASK FOR PRO BONO RESEARCH?

Please speak with the non-profit organization, social worker, or health care provider who helps you. Ask them to contact us on your behalf.

IS THERE A FEE?

Absolutely not. There is no charge for either the research time or the expenses involved in the search. We are glad to be of assistance.

Please note that only requests submitted by social workers and non-profit organizations on behalf of their clients and patients can be considered.

We regret that time does not allow us to accept all assignments.
