Philanthropy is personal.

Your giving should be completely unique to you. It is your choice of how you want to impact the world. It should strongly reflect who you are, what you believe, and where you want change to happen. 

Giving should bring joy.

Whether it is giving back, giving forward, acknowledged or anonymous, you should be proud of how your gifts change the world. Your giving and the impact that comes from it should bring joy and fulfillment into your life.

Focus creates greater impact.

The broader your philanthropic focus is, the more diluted it becomes. Greater focus creates greater potential for both impact and fulfillment. Additionally, focus allows you to gracefully decline opportunities which don’t align with your goals. 

Every life is unique. 

When we take the time to get to know each other, not only does an interesting story unfold but our many layers, nuances and contradictions reveal themselves. 

We’ve yet to meet a client who does not have something unexpected and compelling to tell us. We have a knack for illuminating and celebrating these meaningful details.

Teamwork = Success. 

Like a world-class symphony orchestra or sports team, we strive to work in unison, know the complete picture, understand when to take the lead and when to step out of the spotlight, and create something greater than the sum of its components.

Connection is the path to a better tomorrow. 

Unlocking the amazing force that exists within each of us to create the positive change we are uniquely gifted to do. Aligning your vision with your philanthropy - and connecting you to people and organizations doing great work - has the ability to unleash incredible impact on lives today and into the future. 

We prefer to smile & laugh. 

Finding joy and beauty - even in the unexpected places - is a key aspect of how we approach our work (and our lives). We - and our clients - seek the positive, to build bridges and find common ground in all that we do.
