Transformative Philanthropic Consulting
Reimagining Foundation Impact
With over 20 years of experience partnering with foundations and philanthropic organizations, I specialize in guiding transformational change that aligns investment practices with community-centered missions. My approach bridges the gap between traditional financial metrics and meaningful community impact, helping foundations move beyond simply "doing good" to creating lasting, systemic change.
As a co-founder of Community Centric Fundraising, I bring a unique perspective that challenges conventional philanthropic models. My work with foundations (listed below) demonstrates how foundations can successfully transition from prioritizing "Greatest Return on Investment" to embracing "Greatest Community Impact" as their primary metric for success.
