Good strategy creates work.
Allston was built for that.
Fundraising consultants are often hired for the work that requires experience, judgment, and trust: campaign strategy, major gift counsel, organizational leadership, and executive advising.
But those engagements routinely create another layer of work: portfolio analysis, data interpretation, operating tools, CRM implementation, meeting preparation, documentation, and follow-through.
That is where we fit.
Allston Philanthropy is a specialized delivery practice of The Allston Group LLC. We work with advancement consultants and advisory firms that need analytical or operational capacity without building another internal practice area. The lead consultant keeps the client relationship and strategic counsel. We provide defined capabilities behind the work — white-label, subcontracted, or co-branded.
- Adam Morrow, Founder
FOUNDER
Adam founded The Allston Group in 2023 after more than a decade working across advancement strategy, prospect development, and fundraising operations in higher education, healthcare, and regional nonprofits. His work has focused on the practical middle ground between fundraising strategy and execution: how organizations prioritize relationships, translate donor intelligence into action, and build systems that fundraisers can actually use.
Allston Philanthropy was designed so that helping organizations raise money does not have to depend on one practitioner or outside consultant.
