Specializing in working with athlete/celebrity foundations, grassroots nonprofit organizations and corporate or team foundations. Our goal is to advance ‘a dream of giving back’ to ‘a lifetime culture of philanthropy’ from the ground up, build capacity for long term sustainability and achieve a mission that positively impacts lives.

Philanthropic Services

Educating and advising individuals as well as public, private and corporate foundations on charitable giving and maximizing their impact based on their passion, values and long-term goals. This includes designing comprehensive grant programs and providing guidance for existing grantmaking programs that want to be more intentional. 

Capacity Building

Building capacity means the nonprofit can effectively deliver its mission now and in the future.  Continuing to put strategies in place that improve a foundation’s operational, programmatic, financial or organizational progression will ensure a solid infrastructure and take an organization to the next level.

 ·    Collaboration/Strategic Alliances

Accomplishing a shared purpose over time may include increasing awareness or advocacy among stakeholders to promote a cause; strengthening or expanding program or service quality and performance; or creating a volunteer workforce in the form of an association or coalition to form a collective impact collaboration.  Mutually beneficial relationships and partnerships leverage the strengths of each party to achieve a common goal.
