The path toward impactful giving
"I've seen effective giving in action. My goal is to help families and foundations amplify the impact of their giving while ensuring that each generation is part of the conversation."

Your success has created opportunities to enrich the lives of those you love – and to support causes you care about. Many people's philanthropic journey begins with checkbook giving in response to individual requests. But to reach a destination of truly strategic philanthropy requires:
• Being intentional about what you want to accomplish
• Considering the various structures for giving
• Formalizing your approach
• Creating a vision that reflects the family's values
• Executing your philanthropic mission
We can help you design a strategy to increase the tangible impact of your philanthropy. We can connect you with resources to manage your charitable assets for continued growth and fulfillment of your mission.
We want to be your partner in pursuing the big-picture change you envision.
