Summary

Praise for Fundraising Analytics Using Data to Guide Strategy "Birkholz has shown in print why he's such a sought-after presenter: his ability to humanize descriptive analytics and provide real-world applications of modeling to fundraising challenges. 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!" -Robert D. Scott, Executive Director of Development Services Massachusetts Institute of Technology "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 Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center "Companies and institutions in every industry are increasingly discov-ering the power of predictive analytics in gaining competitive advantage and driving success. In Fundraising Analytics, Josh Birkholz paints a clear picture of the application of predictive analytics in the world of nonprofit fundraising. The book establishes an easy-to-follow framework for creating a data-driven approach to decision-making and paves the way for nonprofits to transform their advancement strategies." -Jack Noonan, CEO SPSS Inc., a global leader in predictive analytics software "Josh Birkholz makes a complex topic totally accessible. Any organization that doesn't understand the use of analytics today risks not being around tomorrow. This book is a must-have for every development shop." -Arthur J. Ochoa, Esquire, Senior Vice President of Community Relations, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center
