The Times also reported that the merger is expected to “combine the complementary resources of two agencies that developed some of the cornerstone fundraising techniques and practices” of the philanthropic community.
“(We) know the world is changing, and changing fast. And in order for our efforts to continue being effective, we are adapting our approach to how we work with non-profits. As an agency, we are gaining a deeper understanding of motivations, behaviors, data, and trends so we can create opportunities and create the right fundraising strategies for our clients,” Hall said in the
Times report.
“The new agency is committed to finding innovative ways of acquiring donors at scale outside of traditional channels so that our clients can make an even greater impact through the work they are doing,” Grizzard added.
