2023 marks the 40th anniversary of BWF, the trusted partner to nonprofits across the United States and abroad. With four decades of growth, innovations, and success, BWF has helped thousands of organizations raise more money to further their missions.

Philanthropy innovator BWF joined lead funder Arizona-based Sonoran Founders Fund as well as Techstars, Cascade Seed Fund, and others to provide the seed money for industry changemaker FundMiner. This first-to-market, AI-powered platform provides the most effective solution for fundraising organizations to track their funds and achieve maximum impact as they fulfill their missions.

BWF is excited to announce significant enhancements to its Systems and Operations team, another signal of the continued growth the firm is experiencing.

BWF’s newly released book “Modern Campaign Planning: Insights & Impact” provides an expansive look into modern fundraising campaigns—what’s changed, how to maximize success, and how to achieve long-term impact.

BWF, the trailblazer of fundraising data science for nonprofits, has expanded its suite of predictive analytics and campaign insight tools through a dynamic and customizable integration with IBM Watson, the industry-leading developer of AI Solutions—bringing two pioneers together to help organizations identify their best prospects, develop smart segmentation for direct response, and provide the most informed insight to campaign and program capacity analysis and forecasting.

BWF Principal Katrina Klaproth sees great value in understanding the needs and expectations of those serving in advancement services roles. “The business of philanthropy has become increasingly sophisticated over the last few decades. High-performing advancement services professionals are in demand now more than ever. The insights from this collaborative initiative will continue to illustrate the requirements to resource these critical teams within our advancement programs.”

Philanthropy innovator BWF and trusted Salesforce partner Redpath Consulting Group (Redpath) are establishing a first-of-its-kind partnership to provide expanded Salesforce services to meet the current and emerging technological needs of nonprofit clients.

BWF is proud to announce its participation in the Slate Preferred Partner Program, a network of organizations that share a commitment to support transformational effects on the world of higher education. One of the first fundraising-exclusive providers to partner with Slate, this partnership recognizes BWF’s deep knowledge of Slate product functionality and processes and will offer access to a variety of resources and insights into best practices that benefit BWF’s clients.
