We’re here to help

Our team of researchers would love to work with you.

We’d love you to trial a tailored survey or to work with us on the design of some experiments you can include in your communications.

But if your need is more specific, we would still love to hear from you.

We can handle both qualitative and quantitative research and we are at the cutting edge of how to conduct both. 

We don’t do old fashioned donor surveys that simply collect research data. We craft our surveys using the latest thinking and research, sometimes seeding experiments inside them so that we can maximise knowledge and supporter wellbeing.

Whether you need help designing a research project or already know that you need interviews, focus groups, surveys or experiments we are always here to help.

Our researchers and analysts are the very best in the charity sector. 

And research for charities and nonprofits is ALL that we do, so we understand ALL the practicalities of the sector.

Institute for Sustainable Philanthropy research

Direct-response fundraising has to be driven by data—not personal preference, not aesthetic taste, not anecdotal evidence, but thoroughgoing, wide, deep data. Getting such data from one’s own donor-base is difficult, and analyzing it properly even more so.

The Institute for Sustainable Philanthropy gave us all of that, based on solid, scientific behavioral models, and yielding easily actionable insights.

In all my years in fundraising, I’ve never seen something so thorough yet so very easy to apply.
— Patrick Nugent, Vice President for Development, Lyric Opera of Chicago

That is one of the most informative, inspiring and immediately accessible and applicable piece of insight I’ve ever seen in my many years in the sector.
