” Our clients trust us to create effective fundraising campaigns that raise more money — and we trust Donor Science to analyze the donor data that informs our strategy. Matthew helps us target and segment donor audiences effectively for direct mail and email campaigns. His modeling selects the donors most likely to respond, and the offer level most suited to them. What I appreciate most about working with Matthew is that he takes the time to understand each challenge, which shows up in the solution he delivers. The combination of his understanding of fundraising, his expertise in data science and the quality of his work is hard to find. I highly recommend working with Matthew if you want to uncover new insights from your donor data that will help you raise more money. He’s a great guide.”

“Working with Matthew on our custom reporting dashboard has been extraordinarily easy and fast. He understood what we were looking for, built the prototype, and refined it to meet our reporting and analysis needs. We could not have asked for (or found!) a better partner. My team is looking forward to doing another project with Matthew soon!”

“Matthew and his firm, Donor Science, have helped my clients understand how to evaluate the state of their donor records and how to put them in more predictive order through a combination of their existing resources and systems, readily available, cost-effective market resources, and his insightful analytics and astute insights. Every client has spoken highly of the services he has rendered, the value of what he has produced, how his work has allowed them to optimize their time, talents resources and philanthropic potential and how much they enjoy working with him. My clients, once apprehensive about entering the realm of donor analytics and artificial intelligence because of the inscrutability of terms and the incomprehensible costs, are reassured if not elated by Matthew’s unique capabilities, reasonableness, integrity, unaffected communication style, humanity and sense of humor.”

“In the age of big data, making sense of a ton of data is like finding gold in the desert full of sand. Matthew has been able to take years of our donor data from multiple databases, marry them with public data, conduct artificial intelligence-based predictive analyses and, within a matter of a few weeks, crystallize actionable insights. Matthew’s analyses are the best I have seen in decades of my leadership work in higher education. Matthew was prompt, professional, and responsive. Thanks to Matthew’s excellent work, we are on our way to developing a sophisticated advancement strategy in service of the Boston Architectural College’s mission to provide access to excellent design education and diversify design professions. It has been an absolutely pleasure to utilize the services of Donor Science.”

“Matthew provided us with his analytic talent on the report ‘Retail demand for impact investing’. He took the time to understand our objectives and mined through our survey data to generate actionable insights. His consultative approach and amiable character makes him a pleasure to work with.”

“We had the chance to work with Matthew on a project recently. His work was fast, accurate and efficient. Highly recommend.”

“Matthew caught my attention on LinkedIn with his thoughtful posts. So I decided to reach out. Matthew’s tools were just what my clients needed. His analytics change the way our clients approach their fundraising strategy year to year. And they are always amazed at the insights they get from Matthew’s tools. Mathew is really easy to work with. He goes above what you expect, which is hard to find these days. If you’re looking for great donor analysis and research, this is your guy.”

“We were so grateful to work with Matthew on our project. We were wrestling with how to visualize complex charitable data for our constituents and he tackled the challenge with passion and enthusiasm. He was responsive to all of our questions and helped us get the kinds of reports and visualizations we needed. We so value his passion for the charitable sector and helping it get the data it needs to make better decisions.”

“Your approach was a perfect fit. You understood that for a new and fast-growing organization like ours, what we most needed was an understanding of what sets our top donors apart from the rest of our contacts, and how to identify hidden gems within our donor base, folks with high potential to give that we haven’t successfully engaged as of yet. The data you provided back to We Stories will enable us to segment our donor outreach efforts and effectively and judiciously use our highest touch strategies for the relationship most likely to grow with us. This is SO important given that we are a team of 2 with a donor base of 400 (and growing!).”

“Working with Matthew was extremely helpful for us at U for Change. His work deepened our understanding as an organization with respect to our demographics and created a spark of new and exciting possibilities for us. Our process together lead to a richer comprehension as to value we bring to our communities matched with a razor sharp focus of the market demand and its unique characteristics. Matthew is wonderful to work with and goes above and beyond the call, bringing his corporate experience with a heartfelt approach to the work. All of us at U for Change look forward to continuing to work together for years to come!”

“We were pleased to have Matthew working with us, applying a predictive modelling concept to our donor data. He provided several very helpful insights that will help us to focus our messaging for what we are sure will lead to greater fundraising success with specific segments of our data base. Matthew was a pleasure to work with, delivering his report on time, and explaining his findings very clearly. We’re looking forward to testing the model with our direct mail program.”
