Praise for Fundraising Analytics Using Data to Guide Strategy

At the same time, the book presents analysts and statisticians with a clear window into the theory and business practices of philanthropy. Fundraising Analytics belongs on every advancement professional's bookshelf!"

"Identifying and analyzing your best prospects is fundamental to successful fundraising. Particularly for institutions blessed with large databases, the knowledge developed through the use of analytic tools can transform the institution's ability to realize its fundraising potential. By applying science to the art of fundraising, organizations are able to bring hard evidence to management decision-making and better define the optimal size, scope, and makeup of the fundraising enterprise."
-Richard K. Naum, Vice President of Development
