M+R was founded by organizers Arthur Malkin and Donald Ross with a grassroots spirit and a belief that smart, data-driven, creative communications are key to shaping hearts and minds, building movements, and effecting long-lasting change for progressive causes. We have decades of experience partnering with nonprofits to tackle the big issues — reproductive freedom, criminal justice reform, LGBTQ+ rights, hunger and poverty, health care, access to arts and education, disaster and international aid, animal welfare, environmental protection, and more.
Today, we are among the top nonprofit fundraising and marketing firms in the nation, with expertise in a wide range of services.
It's hard enough to neatly define a full set of values for just one person — let alone over a hundred unique, thoughtful individuals with different backgrounds and experiences. So while these are not our only values, they are the ones we use to guide our work:
We are committed to equity in how we hire and treat staff.
We are committed to honesty in our work and communications.
We are committed to innovation to continue to explore and grow.
We are committed to trust and respect in our relationships with clients and colleagues.
I first got to know M+R when I was a client. And I will be honest, I had extremely high standards for the agencies I worked with. My partnership with M+R felt different — they were always pushing to make our program the best it could be, and came up with truly innovative ways to do it through real collaboration and a deep understanding of my organization. It felt like magic.
Nearly a decade later, now here as a Partner and CEO, I still feel like M+R is magic. There’s just something inspiring about working with all these experienced, brilliant, and truly kind people who are all here because they believe, as I do, in a better world. We get to take all our experience and brainpower and heart, and work together to help clients we believe in achieve results that matter.
