Ryan Clement

Team-of-one leading Prospect Management and Research for a $350M capital campaign — the largest in our institution’s history. Designed and executed data-driven strategies that have powered a 3× increase in fundraising revenue since joining the team.

Two biggest fundraising years in the organization’s 100+ year history by integrating predictive analytics, wealth screening, and actionable intelligence into frontline strategies. Expert at uniting AI-driven prospecting with the cultural values that sustain long-term donor relationships.

Attending the APRA Conference confirmed what I’ve been putting into practice: AI and data are transforming prospect research.

• AI accelerates impact – Generative AI speeds up donor bios and briefings, while predictive AI forecasts giving behavior to surface the right prospects. I’ve used these tools to cut prospecting time in half and boost research output dramatically.
• Data is the foundation – Clean, consistent data enables predictive models, scoring, and dashboards that uncover hidden prospects and guide fundraising strategy.
• Human + AI partnership – Technology enhances our work, but judgment, relationships, and ethical stewardship remain essential.

The future of philanthropy will belong to organizations that blend analytics, AI, and relationship management to grow smarter and faster.

As someone who has built AI-driven workflows, automated prospect screening, and led research for a $200M+ campaign, I’m ready to bring these innovations into my next leadership role in philanthropy research.
