Our mission is to decode what works in fundraising and make it accessible
We do this through forensic research (looking at what organizations do), applied research (analyzing what donors do), and academic research (understanding human behavior) to create actionable resources and training.

“You put a lot of thought into what and how you present and it shows. I appreciate that every recommendation is based on data. It’s so refreshing to be presented with actual best practice and not just opinion. I wish I could have one of you look over my shoulder every time I write an email!“
