Hi there —

There’s still time to sign up for our webinar all about M+R’s data co-op, Scout Quest (info below)!

In case you don’t already know: Scout Quest is a different kind of data co-op!

Participating organizations share their supporter email, action, donation, deliverability, engagement, and fundraising behavior. In return, they receive volumes of rich, useful data about their supporters to help in targeting, re-engagement, advertising, and more.

But it’s not what participants share that makes M+R’s co-op different. It’s what we don’t ask them to share: supporters’ privacy.

That’s right. Scout Quest doesn’t ask you to give your donor or activist names or contact information to anyone. Behavioral data on how your supporters are interacting with other organizations — email and donation patterns — are powerful without sacrificing your supporters’ privacy and trust.

Interested? Let us know — and try to make that webinar if you’d like to learn more (and we hope you do want to learn more!).

Earlier this year we revealed Scout Quest — M+R’s very own data co-op — to the public. The goal: help organizations reach people most likely to help grow their programs, advance their missions, and expand their ability to do good. Participating organizations learn which of their supporters are active — donating to other organizations, clicking on email, and more. 

And — importantly — no one has to give up their valuable supporter/donor lists to be messaged by other groups without regard to email opt-in policies.

The response was incredible! Twenty-seven organizations from a range of different sectors participated in our Spring round. Since then, they’ve been using Scout Quest to improve email deliverability, reactivate inactive supporters, build advertising audiences — and ultimately, inspire more people and raise more money.

We’re cooking up some big new (super useful!) features that we’re pumped to roll out for this next round, including…

  • Adding advocacy and action data into the co-op
  • Offering new ways to advertise using Scout Quest audiences
  • A process to identify if inactive supporters are actively using alternate email addresses
  • A few more TOP SECRET data points we’re adding to the co-op to be revealed at our upcoming webinar 😉

The Fall round kicks off NOW! You can let us know you’re interested in participating by completing this form, and someone will reach out with more details. 

We’re also thrilled to announce an upcoming webinar on August 23! You’ll hear first-hand from a previous participant, and we’ll dig into some of those new, exciting features. RSVP here!

  • WEBINAR: August 23 at 4–5pm ET/1–2pm PT
