​

​We work extensively with mission-driven organizations and higher-education institutions, while also advising commercial organizations across a broad range of industries.

WHO WE ARE

OUR PHILOSOPHY

We believe data should enable better decisions—not overwhelm teams with complexity. Our approach emphasizes clarity, prioritization, and execution, ensuring analytics and AI translate into real impact.

 

Rather than focusing solely on tools or software, we align data, analytics, AI, and digital strategy with the outcomes organizations care about most: engagement, revenue, and long-term performance.

FUNDRAISING FOCUS

Build the strongest relationships with the most important people. 

 

We built a proprietary Screening System that combines independent measures to identify the most qualified and ready potential donors. 

Gift Capacity Score

If you are using data from only one vendor for this data point, you are likely aware that it contains errors and bias. We know how to help you get closer to reality.

Wealth, Income, Disposable Income, and Spending Score

We use a combination of eight different financial attributes to compare and validate Gift Capacity. We apply this model across two different age bands, as we know how these measures change over a lifetime.

Affinity and Readiness Score

Uses a combination of donor transaction data and non-financial data points to provide a more complete portrait. Additional psychographic attributes help you distinguish the wealthy from the wealthy philanthropists, and why they give.

Likelihood to Give Score

Uses client and psychographic data to identify the candidates most likely to make a major gift.

Major Gift Look-alike Score

Uses client and our demographic, psychographic, and behavioral data to identify those people who look most like a client’s best donors.

College Specific or Other Scores

(Library, Scholarships, et al)

We know that grads and donors look different from college to college. The right analysis and model will help you understand what distinguishes one group from the other, so you put the right message in front of the right donor.

Our system uses any or all of these scores to help organizations achieve better results, regardless of where they may be in their data-driven journey.

WHAT SETS US APART

Our team brings a combination of capabilities and experience that is extremely difficult to replicate.

​

We operate at the intersection of data strategy, advanced analytics, AI, and digital execution, allowing us to connect insight to action across the full growth lifecycle. We have evolved alongside multiple technology shifts by remaining at the vanguard of data platforms, analytics methods, and digital innovation—so our solutions are both modern and practical.

​

​Our work spans more than ten industry verticals, including mission-driven organizations, higher education, and complex commercial environments. This breadth gives us pattern recognition and perspective that inform every engagement, enabling us to transfer proven ideas across sectors while tailoring solutions to each organization’s context.

​

Most importantly, we do not operate in silos. We design integrated solutions that align data, analytics, AI, and digital strategy to real organizational goals.
