Fundraising Firm Amergent Acquired By Moore
Direct response fundraising firm Amergent has been acquired by Moore, but will continue to market products and services under its own brand. Moore will make available Amergent products and services to existing clients. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Based in Peabody, Mass., the 40-year-old Amergent is a direct response fundraising firm with an emphasis on food banks, healthcare institutions, faith-based organizations, advocacy, and conservation groups. It also has a constituent relationship management tool, Amergent Portfolio™ Software.
Amergent uses proprietary analytics tools to cultivate donor relationships and grow programs with multi-channel fundraising campaigns that include direct mail, email, and online giving. The firm recently has expanded research into donor-advised funds.
Jack Doyle will continue as chief executive officer of Amergent, reporting to Gretchen Littlefield, chief executive officer at Moore. Rick Hohman will continue to serve as chief operating officer.
“Amergent has some of the best talent and analytic solutions in the industry,” said Littlefield. “The Amergent analytic tools are the best in the industry in identifying where clients should be making an investment and predicting their return on that investment. Amergent is positioned for accelerated growth as we partner our data solutions with their analytic tools,” she said.
