The Allston Group delivers more value at a lower cost than large, expensive consulting firms. Fewer meetings, transparent pricing, and flexible options mean that your fundraiser's time, energy, and money are focused on what matters most: the cause your donors care about.
At The Allston Group, quality always comes first. With over a decade of experience working with institutions and nonprofits of all sizes, we provide meaningful insights—not just data. Our hands-on approach ensures that every project receives the attention it deserves, giving you the highest quality results.
Traditional researchers often move slowly—relying on "institutional knowledge" that doesn’t always yield efficient results. With our Wealth Screenings, we can analyze more donor data in minutes than most researchers do in a year—getting you actionable insights faster than ever.
At The Allston Group, protecting your donors' sensitive information is our top priority.
With our Wealth Screenings, all we need is your donors' existing Capacity Ratings - no names, no personal information, just one anonymized data point.
This ensures that your supporters' sensitive data stays with you - without exposure to any third-party risk.
We believe in empowering your team. In our complementary 1:1 meetings, we teach you how to use our Wealth Screening data in MS Excel, so your fundraising strategy improves without any extra privacy risks to your donors.
For all other services, we offer a Data Privacy Agreement to ensure every project is handled with the highest standards of security - protecting your nonprofit, your fundraisers, and your donors.

Founder + Head Contractor
The journey of The Allston Group began with a spark of inspiration across the river from an iconic university in Cambridge, Massachusetts. "Across the river" at the business school in Boston's Allston neighborhood, our founder, Adam Morrow, honed his skills as a prospect researcher for over seven years, setting the stage for a new kind of philanthropic partnership.
Today, rooted in the lush landscapes of the Pacific Northwest in Seattle, The Allston Group serves a diverse, national client base. Our inception in June 2024 arose from a need to address the harsh realities fundraisers face amid economic flux, political turbulence, and ongoing global challenges. These experiences have not only shaped our ethos but also strengthened our resolve to transform the fundraising landscape.
At the core of our mission is the democratization of fundraising strategy. With our "Consulting: à la carte" service model, we're making what was once exclusive to large expensive consulting firms, now inclusive. We believe that all nonprofits, regardless of their size, deserve access to premium, affordable consulting services to move their causes along.
