OUR SOLUTIONS

Family Foundations Begin with Your Story

Giving back
as value

Your charitable giving represents your values. The causes that are important to you and the intent for philanthropy in your life are personal decisions. Our expertise in creating your customized strategic plan allows your values to shine.

From afterthought to forethought

Full time administration can drain resources and become an afterthought in the bustle of the family business. Outsourced administration — where you remain in control — allows for focused intentional resources so families can concentrate on the giving. Establishing best practices, we help move your philanthropic mission forward while incorporating strong communication and governance.

Moving from giving to creating an impact

Your foundation represents your family in the community. We administer your foundation bringing the knowledge, expertise, and sophistication to move from simply giving to creating an impact in the community. We are your agent, but you are in control.

Personalized Approach for a Purposeful Difference

Making a positive impact for the causes and organizations you cherish starts with a strategic plan. Finding the right family mission involves more than identifying your interests. What is important to you becomes your values in action. Our experienced team will collaborate with you to design a carefully crafted giving plan focused on your charitable goals.
