Independent Technology & Data Advisory for Nonprofits

Technology decisions your board and your mission can stand behind.

“Every technology recommendation should hold up to board scrutiny — because it will be.”
Adam Johns, Founder & Principal Advisor
What We Do

Three ways we protect your systems and your data.

Technology Evaluation & RFPs

Independent CRM and fundraising-platform evaluations, RFP design and vendor selection, and implementation oversight — led by Adam Johns, so recommendations serve your mission, not a reseller's quota.

Data Hygiene & CRM Consulting

Database cleanup, deduplication, and backend configuration for platforms including Blackbaud CRM and eTapestry, delivered by our data specialists on a project basis so your records stay accurate and reportable.

Fundraising & Speaking Network

Referrals into a trusted network of fundraising strategy and speaking engagement partners for the development-side needs that fall outside our technology and data practice.

About

Led by a nonprofit technology practitioner, not a vendor.

AJ
Adam Johns — Founder & Principal Advisor

Adam brings a background in SaaS and nonprofit fundraising technology to every engagement, guiding organizations through technology audits, RFPs, and full-scale platform evaluations with the mission — not the sale — as the priority.

MS
Mark Scott — Data & CRM Specialist

Mark specializes in Blackbaud consulting, engaged on select projects to lead data hygiene and backend configuration work alongside his full-time role.

Referral Network

Need fundraising strategy or a speaker, not a technology audit?

We route those conversations to trusted partners in our referral network, including Erik Tomalis of Keystone Philanthropy, so your team gets the right specialist for the job.
