About
The Helen Brown Group LLC
The Helen Brown Group was formed in 2002 with a goal to create a new kind of fundraising research consultancy.I wanted to build a team of experienced, knowledgeable, and friendly professionals – working together to bring our collective fundraising intelligence to clients ready to create transformational change.
Successful HBGers would stand on a platform supported by three key pillars: a vow to abide by fundraising ethics guidelines; a desire for continuous learning and knowledge-sharing; and a commitment to provide outstanding quality and value to our clients.
It was a bold goal, since most prospect research consultancies were single-person operations. With good planning and great fortune in hiring, we’re building upward on that strong platform today. Learn more about our three key pillars: ethics, information in context, and value.
