“Their leadership was instrumental in shaping a practical, impactful plan that will guide our foundation’s work for years to come.”

We hired Boldly Go to develop a comprehensive fund disbursement strategy for a new community foundation focused on alleviating medical expenses and medical debt in our service region. From the outset, Justin, Ishan, Kyle, and Rania’s professionalism, strong communication, and responsiveness set the tone for a seamless collaboration. They delivered clear timelines, met every milestone, and exceeded our expectations for our fund disbursement strategy, adding thoughtful and strategic insights-including recommendations for potential partners- in our work that elevated the entire project. Their leadership was instrumental in shaping a practical, impactful plan that will guide our foundation’s work for years to come.

President/CEO and Program Officer, Connecticut Community Foundation
“Thanks to Boldly Go, I now feel more connected to the cause and more confident in my giving.”

When we started, it felt like this huge, overwhelming task. But Boldly Go helped to break down the challenge of philanthropy down into smaller, manageable pieces, which really took the pressure off. You helped me figure out what organizations were good, and introduced me to ones that aligned with my interests. Learning about them made it less mysterious and helped me see the passion behind the people involved.

Thanks to Boldly Go, I now feel more connected to the cause and more confident in my giving. Growing up, I was taught to donate to places like symphonies and museums, which are valuable. But with the organizations I’m planning to support now, I feel like I’m actually making a direct, meaningful difference. I also feel more confident discussing my philanthropy, whether in casual conversations or formal settings, and I’m more committed to the work I’m doing.

“One of the most valuable aspects of working with Boldly Go Philanthropy is that they truly mean it when they say they manage the foundation so that we can focus on the joy of making a difference.”

In fewer than two years, the Cinelli Family Foundation’s endowment has increased tenfold, with expectations that it will triple again in the coming year. Boldly Go Philanthropy has helped us respond to the growth by helping us set up organizational processes, hone our giving philosophy, and build a pipeline of potential grantees through their well-defined strategy development process. Their approach is both comprehensive and insightful, enabling us to maximize the impact of our philanthropic efforts while staying true to our core values.

One of the most valuable aspects of working with Boldly Go Philanthropy is that they truly mean it when they say they manage the foundation so that we can focus on the joy of making a difference. Their professionalism, dedication and genuine care for our mission have made all the difference in our journey.

We wholeheartedly recommend Boldly Go Philanthropy to any organization seeking to elevate their philanthropic endeavors. They are not just a management company; they are true partners in our mission to make the world a better place.
