Anyone can make a difference.

Guiding individuals and families as they engage in philanthropy.

phi·lan·thro·py

/fəˈlanTHrəpy/

noun

From Greek, literally meaning humankind

Become a philanthropist.

For too long in our society philanthropy has been narrowly defined and associated with only a few very wealthy individuals. Given the definition of philanthropy however, this is truly accessible to anyone. There is no age limit or socioeconomic parameter on philanthropy. People can give of their time, treasure (money), talent, or ties (contacts). It’s all philanthropy.

We are at an exciting time in the age of philanthropy. Anyone can be a philanthropist.
