Transforming Fundraising with rAI-Powered Predictive Modeling

Client Challenge

Growing fundraising revenue without overwhelming existing audiences.

New Blue Interactive’s client needed to expand their donor universe without over-emailing current supporters, maintain strong email deliverability during a high-stakes fundraising window and move beyond traditional list expansion and lookalike modeling. Legacy approaches relied on backward-looking data, making it difficult to confidently identify who was most likely to donate next.

Resonate Data Results

Resonate’s predictive modeling delivered measurable, high-impact results:

expansion of the donor email universe

Most donor modeling in this space is just sophisticated look-alikes. It’s backward-looking by design. Resonate’s predictive model is forward-looking at its core with data that told us who was ready to give next, based on what people actually believe and care about right now. That shift expanded our client’s email universe, increased revenue per email, and produced the best fundraising results of the cycle. After 15 years in digital fundraising, this is the first time I’ve seen the model itself become a competitive advantage.
