Matthew Bisset

With more than 30 years in nonprofit advancement, Matthew Bisset leads development strategy at Revs, overseeing fundraising, donor engagement, and long-term philanthropic growth. His role is to translate Revs’ scholarly mission into clear, compelling opportunities for support, aligning individual donors, foundations, and partners with programs in research, education, preservation, and collections care. He previously served as Founder and President of Kezar Consulting Group and held senior advancement roles at Eckerd College, Brewster Academy, and Saint Anselm College.

At Revs, Bisset works closely with leadership to structure giving strategies, steward major gifts, and ensure philanthropic support advances institutional priorities rather than short-term initiatives.
