Founded by experienced fundraising expert Rick Kiernan, Integrity Fundraising has completed successful nonprofit feasibility studies and capital campaigns for organizations nationwide. Rick joined the fundraising industry in 1996, and his extensive work with chambers of commerce, economic development councils, affordable housing organizations, the Boy Scouts of America, entrepreneurial support organizations, and YMCAs led him to create a boutique firm focused on assisting nonprofits in these markets.
Committed to improving nonprofit funding by demonstrating results, ROImetrix is based on investment-grade methodologies designed to move the funding process from a charity mindset to one of investment. ROImetrix was the first company dedicated solely to the development, demonstration, and communication of nonprofit results in a quantifiable way. ROImetrix helped nonprofits move beyond describing outcomes as anecdotes to demonstrating to investors the value of the good work they are funding.

Founder Tom Ralser, a Chartered Financial Analyst and author of "ROI for Nonprofits," launched Capital Strategists Group in 2001.
