A Smarter Approach to Fundraising »
 Bootstrap forests and boosted trees may sound like terms you'd expect to hear in an environment-focused nonprofit. But in fact, the terms refer to statistical algorithms in JMP Pro software that have become everyday tools for the Charlotte (NC) Rescue Mission's fundraising efforts. Tim Troutman, the Charlotte Rescue Mission's Manager of Mass Marketing, uses these features to build predictive models for direct-mail campaigns, the bread and butter of the organization's fundraising efforts. Bootstrap forests and boosted trees allow users to safeguard against making predictions that are overly optimistic or skewed by the specific data used. Predictive models are more likely to generalize well. "It makes me feel smart," he says with a laugh. "No one has to know how easy it is…. I can do a lot of things with the click of a button that used to take me a couple of hours to write the script for."
