Heller Consulting acquires DMI, strengthening data services for mission-driven organizations

Plano, TX - January 7, 2026 - Heller Consulting has acquired DMI, a respected nonprofit data services firm known for its expertise in campaign data operations and data management systems. This acquisition expands Heller's ability to help nonprofits, educational institutions, and healthcare organizations align strategy, systems, and data for faster, insight-driven action.
Founded in 1961 as a lettershop service, DMI has supported mission-driven organizations with precision data solutions that improve fundraising and engagement outcomes. Both Heller and DMI are part of The RKD Group, a leader in nonprofit marketing and technology services. Heller will continue to operate as a standalone brand, bolstered by the capabilities of its new data team.
"Nonprofit technology has changed. It's no longer about picking the right platform-it's about making your systems work together and using data to drive confident decisions," said Jeffrey Appell, President, Heller Consulting.
"By combining Heller's strategic expertise with this new bank of engineers and analysts, we're giving organizations the clarity and infrastructure they need to thrive in this new era."
"The job of a technology leader used to be to find and implement platforms that supported the work of nonprofits. Now it's more about driving insight through the whole stack, operations, and data. Their decisions are only as good as the data they can get access to. And Heller's now positioned to lead the whole sector into the future."
"We're helping clients move beyond fragmented systems and manual reporting to a future where technology and strategy work hand in hand. This is an exciting moment for mission-driven organizations," said Trent Johnson, Data Services Business Lead.
