ABOUT

Blackthorn Strategies empowers organizations to fully harness

the power of their data to advance their goals. We have experience helping a broad range of mission-driven organizations use data not only to measure their impact, but to shape innovative strategies and inform their decision-making.

In Celtic mythology, the blackthorn tree symbolizes overcoming obstacles for a better future and hope amidst devastation.
