Philanthropic Consulting

 

The Giving Back Fund offers our expertise and our unique network of relationships to help make your charitable giving one of the most rewarding things you do in life. We are accustomed to working within the restrictions of our donor's unique schedules.

 

We work collaboratively with the donor to deliver the highest level of personalized services to him and his team of representatives. Initially, The Giving Back Fund explores, clarifies, and articulates the donor’s philanthropic vision, values, and mission. This may include interviews with the donor, his family, and anyone else who is involved in his philanthropy such as close friends, colleagues, and representatives.

 

Based on our assessments, The Giving Back Fund can provide a range of philanthropic
consulting and management services, including housing donor-advised foundations.

 

 

When you work with The Giving Back Fund:

 

  • You benefit from our charitable network developed over years in the field. We regularly meet people from around the country and the world who are interested in philanthropy and social change. This provides for a unique opportunity to “mix-and-match” people we meet with causes and charities that interest them.
  • You build momentum quickly using our contacts and leveraging our experience.
  • You share the administrative and management costs of your charitable efforts with others with whom we are working. These costs include dues and subscriptions, office and administrative expenses, salaries and benefits, filing fees, and insurance.
  • You receive one-to-one individualized service. We work with you, and whomever you designate as your representatives (i.e. agents, publicists, financial advisors), to help you identify, develop, and implement your vision for your charitable efforts.
  • You simplify your life by formalizing and centralizing your philanthropic activity. You can direct all charitable inquiries and requests to us to screen and review. We will only forward on requests to you that match your predetermined charitable interests and goals. Other inquiries we will politely decline on your behalf.

 

 

 

We can help you:

  • Explore, clarify and articulate your philanthropic vision, values and mission into a proactive charitable plan that adds to your personal legacy.
  • Receive peer advice from some of the nation’s most prominent leaders in philanthropy and others who have worked with us over time to implement their personal giving programs.
  • Help you select the most worthy beneficiaries of your giving or provide you with ideas, research, and feedback on how to create novel philanthropy.
  • Use public relations to advance your goals and spark interest in your ideas.
  • Properly evaluate requests for support, assess outcome measurements, negotiate grant terms and reporting requirements, conduct site visits and meetings with senior leadership teams on your behalf, conduct post-grant evaluation and results tracking.

 

 

We keep marketing and professional goals in mind during our planning. We understand that the stronger the donor's and foundation's brand, the better it is for philanthropy.
