Congratulations to Vinca Merriman and Swati Garg from IPSOS for winning the 2021 Research Got Talent Competition with their entry – Understanding the donor base of The Citizen’s Foundation Canada (TCF Canada).
The Research Got Talent (RGT) competition, offered by the Canadian Research Insights Council (CRIC) and the Certified Analytics & Insights Professionals of Canada (CAIP Canada) in partnership with the ESOMAR Foundation, encourages young professionals to use market research and insights to support local charities and NGOs to overcome pressing social issues. Entrants select a charity they are passionate about and submit a research proposal that will deliver insights to make a difference for that charity.
The 2021 winners selected TCF Canada, a Canadian charity with the objective of providing educational opportunities for underprivileged children in Pakistan. The proposed research will gather needed insights to help TCF Canada grow a stable and sustainable donor base to increase its ability to provide education to underprivileged children in Pakistan.
Merriman and Garg will present highlights of their work at the ESOMAR Insights Festival in September 2021 where they will represent Canada on the global stage. As the Canadian winner, they will also receive a free membership in the Young ESOMAR Society and admission to the next in person ESOMAR Congress that is anticipated to be held in Toronto in 2022.
