Bio
Jill Muchow Rode CFRE
Grant was our data intern from May 2018 to June 2019 and has been an asset to our Y Association. Grant lead the charge on the RFM (recency, frequency, monetary) analysis, gathering the data, putting it into a model, and creating reports for seven YMCA branches with the goal of elevating their fundraising and identifying prospects. Upon completion of this project, Grant started an impact mapping/visualization project that is now being continued by another intern. Grant has a gift for data and analysis and was dedicated to improving results with his work. I have been very pleased with the work he has done and give him my full recommendation.
