Philanthropic Advising

We work with foundations, donors, and philanthropic partners who are thinking about how to use their resources in ways that reflect their values and support the communities and issues they care about.

Our experience includes developing philanthropic strategies, designing grantmaking programs, managing grant portfolios, and building relationships with nonprofit and grassroots partners. We help funders think through their priorities, understand the communities and organizations they want to support, and develop funding practices that are thoughtful, accessible, and responsive.

We are particularly interested in working with funders who want to strengthen grassroots organizing, support underfunded communities, and build long-term relationships with the people doing this work.
 

Our work includes:

• Philanthropic strategic planning

• Grantmaking program design

• Grant portfolio development and management

• Grantee engagement and relationship building

• Funding research and organizational assessments

• Foundation and donor advising
