Modern Capacity Ratings
Smarter asks = More money raised
Old formulas hurt fundraising. We help you fix them—affordably. Special: First 100 free.
How It Works
Your Data, Tailored for Impact
We modernize your existing capacity ratings using an adjusted formula based on today's economy.
- 3% of net worth (small nonprofits)
- 4% of net worth (mid-size organizations)
- 5% of net worth (large institutions)
The Problem We've Solved:
Outdated prospect data limits your fundraising potential. We provide current, actionable capacity ratings, empowering your team to fundraise with confidence.
What We Need from You
Two data points. That's all.
- Internal Donor ID (an anonymous data point for VLOOKUPs)
- Capacity Rating (number only)
The Benefits:
Protecting your donor's privacy is paramount; we only need anonymous IDs and numeric capacity ratings.
Why It Matters
Overestimated ratings can alienate donors, while underestimated ones leave money on the table. Our service helps you find the sweet spot, building stronger relationships and maximizing every opportunity.
- Boost Fundraiser Confidence: Equip your team with accurate, data-backed ask amounts.
- Maximize Revenue: Identify true giving potential and unlock higher gift levels.
- Improve Donor Relations: Make relevant, respectful asks that build trust.
- Save Time & Resources: Eliminate the guesswork and frustration of outdated data.

Our Story
The Allston Group - Partners in Philanthropy
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.
