STRATEGIC PHILANTHROPY FOR MAXIMUM IMPACT

Values-Driven + Measurable Giving

If you're a foundation, donor advisor, grantmaker, individual philanthropist, or nonprofit champion,  please reach out about potential goals like: 

​

✔ Clarifying your values, passions, priorities 

✔ Aligning your giving with data, values, and measurable outcomes

✔ Maximizing impact of your funding/donations 

✔ Designing a general strategic or project-specific giving plan/legacy

✔ Conducting due diligence/research (landscape scans, trends/best practice analyses)

✔ Cultivating strategic funding/program partnerships with nonprofit, foundation, govt, academic, or other entities

✔ Leading impact evaluation (define/track/analyze/report/refine key performance indicators)

✔ Coaching or "101-type" trainings for Executives, Senior Leaders, or Board Members

✔ Fundraising (from private, family, community, corporate foundation, or natl, state, local govt sources)

✔ Better managing cross-functional teams

✔ Fundraising (grant writing, pitches/slide decks, funder relationship-building, renewals)
✔ Recruiting talented, diverse candidates for meaningful Board leadership or social impact careers
✔ Finding the right kind of lawyer for your legal needs

 

Or any other strategic priorities that may benefit from panoramic vision + deep cultural competency.​
