We design, build, and deploy philanthropic solutions that enable highly successful individuals, families, and foundations to unlock the full potential of their giving—and solve the problems they care most about.
We Have Strong Beliefs About the World of Philanthropy.
The Purpose of Philanthropy is to
Solve Problems.
Most people believe philanthropy is about giving money to charities. We believe it’s much bigger. Philanthropy is the greatest change agent on the planet. Philanthropy can achieve what companies, governments, and often whole societies cannot. Philanthropy has the power to get to the very root of society’s ills and fix them.
Philanthropy’s Measuring Stick is Impact. Not Dollars.
Great philanthropists should be celebrated for their impact, rather than the size of their checks. Success is measured in sports with a scorecard. In business, success is measured by profit. In philanthropy, success should be measured by impact.
PHILANTHROPY WITH
MORE IMPACT
A recent study showed that the most effective giving can create up to 100X more impact—meaning $1M given strategically could deliver the same results as $100M given to an underperforming solution.
That’s why we help our clients identify highly effective strategies and highly leveraged opportunities that solve problems at scale.
PHILANTHROPY WITH
MORE FULFILLMENT
We are unmatched in our ability to help clients match their passion with their giving. We help them to define success, shape strategy, and connect to the solutions they create.
Our clients work alongside thought leaders, innovators, and change-makers to feel the impact of their work.
Our clients can point to specific change in the world and say,
“I made that happen!”
PHILANTHROPY WITH
ANONYMOUS
We believe the attention belongs on the work, and when appropriate, on our clients. We prefer to be anonymous in the process.
The world will never know the part we play. Although, as our logo humbly suggests, those who know our work will likely recognize our fingerprint.
That's us, just off camera, helping one of the world's pre-eminent scientists experience weightlessness – on a mission to inspire a generation to pursue STEM.
Our name itself is inspired by the Talmudic teaching that says there are eight ascending levels of giving. The lowest level is giving begrudgingly. The highest levels of giving are anonymously, with the greatest gift being one that provides for self-sufficiency.
