From the first conversation to ongoing fund management, we work alongside you and your clients to design thoughtful giving strategies that create lasting impact. Our philanthropic advisors provide the expertise, flexibility, and long-term partnership needed to support meaningful philanthropic goals.
Step 1
Every meaningful giving journey begins with a conversation. We meet with you and your clients to understand their values, charitable goals, financial considerations, and vision for impact, while identifying how we can best support your advisory relationship from the start.
Our role is to complement your expertise—not replace it—by bringing a charitable lens to the broader planning discussion.
Step 2
With a clear understanding of your clients’ goals, we work together to evaluate giving options that align with their financial plans and philanthropic vision. From outright gifts to complex assets and legacy planning vehicles, we help identify the strategies that maximize both impact and tax efficiency.
Together, we help you present clear, actionable options that fit within the broader wealth strategy you’ve designed.
Step 3
Once the strategy is defined, we guide you and your clients through a smooth and efficient fund setup process, ensuring every detail aligns with their goals:
With the fund established, your clients are ready to begin giving with clarity and confidence, backed by ongoing support from our team.
Step 4
Our work continues well beyond fund creation. We remain a long-term partner to you and your client by providing:
Insights
Access to our deep knowledge of community needs, nonprofits, and philanthropic trends
Grantmaking Support
Guidance and administration to help clients recommend and distribute grants with ease and confidence
Impact Opportunities
Access to signature initiatives such as Rising GEN and WPI, along with curated opportunities to connect with meaningful work
You stay at the center of the client relationship, while we provide specialized philanthropic expertise and on-the-ground community knowledge.
Our Donor Services team combines technical expertise with a highly personalized approach. Acting as an extension of your practice, we are committed to helping you navigate complex giving conversations, respond to client needs, and deliver meaningful philanthropic outcomes with confidence.
