Philanthropy Associates serves as professional advisors and consultants to foundations, individual and family philanthropists, and nonprofit organizations.

We offer a wide variety of services, from start-up help and individual coaching to the design, management and evaluation of complex philanthropic programs. Our clients range from individual donors to some of the largest foundations in the world. We also work with nonprofits - many referred by funders - to help increase their organizational effectiveness (please click on our List of Clients for more information).

The nonprofit/philanthropic sector is complex. With more than 20 years of experience as funders, nonprofit executives, Board members, trustees, trainers and consultants, the principals of Philanthropy Associates offer a variety of perspectives and professional skills to assist you with whatever challenge you are facing. Our goal is to help make each of our client’s work as effective and satisfying as possible.

We take a very personal approach to consulting. You will work directly with a primary consultant who will stay with your project from start to finish - you won’t be handed off to a junior associate.
