Fundraising
The firm has consulted to and done projects for a variety of market-driven nonprofits, public utilities, and associations. Indeed, Jeff’s first, and long-time, client was Consumer Reports magazine, for which he pioneered large-scale customer satisfaction surveys in the early 1980's. He was credited with more than a dozen cover stories, ranking brands of the earliest generation personal computers, hotels, and insurance companies, among other categories.

Jeff has been influential in the adoption of marketing approaches by community foundations. Jeff was the first to talk at the Annual Conference of the Council on Foundations about the potential for marketing in development. JTWack & Company conducts market and donor research for a variety of not-for-profit organizations, the Development offices of educational institutions, and community foundations in particular.
