Nine years ago, I began working closely with families, family offices, businesses and public and private foundations. My goal was (and is) to help them achieve greater impact for themselves and their communities through philanthropy.
In the years since, the field of strategic philanthropy has evolved significantly. In addition, I’ve learned valuable lessons about what works—and what doesn’t. Although truly strategic philanthropy is highly individualized, some lessons are universal.
