Research & Testing

Eliminate Uncertainty. Maximize Performance.

Mitigate Risk. Maximize ROI.

From emotional response to real-world performance, our Neuro-Fundraising® Lab, Audience-Centric Testing Suite, and comprehensive donor research bring science to your fundraising strategy.

You get data, not guesses. Proof, not assumptions. And results you can scale with confidence.

Make-a-Wish Case Study

Challenge

Early DRTV and CTV campaigns resulted in acquisition costs just above $500 per sustainer, exceeding the threshold needed to create a scalable, sustainable program.

Solution

We leveraged Moore’s Neuro-Fundraising® Lab to test and refine DRTV and CTV creative, ensuring it resonated with donors. Using SimioCloud’s predictive modeling, we optimized audience targeting to reach prospects most likely to convert, improving both efficiency and effectiveness.

Results

  • Reduced sustainer acquisition costs by 72% across DRTV and CTV campaigns

  • Increased overall revenue by 52%

  • Lifted average gift by 32%

  • Transformed a high-cost, borderline campaign into a scalable, sustainable donor acquisition source

Operation Smile Case Study

Challenge

Operation Smile had relied on the same acquisition mail package for nearly a decade, and its effectiveness was declining. A refreshed, optimized package was needed to continue attracting donors and support the organization’s vital mission.

Solution

Moore’s Neuro-Fundraising® Lab analyzed the acquisition package to identify which elements drove urgency, attention, and emotional response, as well as which images had the greatest impact. Using these insights, we redesigned the mail package to maximize engagement and donor response.

Results

  • Response rate increased by 23%

  • Average gift grew by 21%

  • Cost to acquire decreased by 18%

  • Outperformed a control package that had been in market for over a year
