HOW WE HELP community foundations

Community foundations are experts in their communities. They support donors, build the capacity of nonprofits, and lead major community improvement efforts. We partner with community foundations to provide a premier level of service to those donors who require different expertise or more significant time, implementation support, and executive-level advising than the community foundation can provide directly.

We help community foundations best serve donors who require significant strategic and operational support.

Working in partnership with community foundation staff, we provide world class advice, help structure portfolios of high-quality grants and impact investments, launch and manage social change initiatives, and provide rigorous execution support. Collectively, our services often enable donors to postpone or avoid the hassle and cost of establishing their own staffed foundation.
