The Lab

We build the tools we wish existed.

Because fundraising breaks the assumptions ad platforms are built on.

−12%
Cost per lead

In a year when industry lead costs rose 21%, we cut cost per lead 12% while maintaining average raised for one of our US nonprofit clients.

Industry figure: WordStream 2025 Facebook Ads Benchmarks, US leads campaigns, April 2024 to June 2025. Client figure: 2024 to 2025.

01

Question everything.

Every “best practice” gets tested before we trust it.

02

For-profit discipline, nonprofit heart.

Performance-marketing rigor backed by years inside fundraising.

03

Test early, test often.

New platforms and formats get a real trial, not just a meeting about one.

04

Incessantly curious.

We never stop asking why.

The next big idea can still start on a Paper Napkin.

Case study · Pieta · 12 Dips in December

Over €460,000 raised in a single December challenge.

The challenge. Ad costs were rising across the sector, and Pieta needed its flagship winter challenge to keep growing and bring in new supporters.

What we did. We shaped the creative, ads and supporter journey around the people most likely to fundraise, then continually optimized budget toward the ads bringing in people who actually fundraised.

The result. 96% of fundraisers were taking part in a Pieta challenge for the first time.

“The Challenge would not have been such a success without Paper Napkin’s support.”
