The word philanthropy means “love of humanity.” Loving humanity means understanding and appreciating the uniqueness of every individual. We consider the perspective of each person. Only when we understand our partners can we help them meet their goals.

Historically, the resources that nonprofits need to sustain their missions have not been available to all people and all communities. Through coaching, cultivation, and connection, we increase our partners’ capacity to do good. We build a more just world by empowering our philanthropic partners.

When we share time and space with others, we invite them to share their ideas. This exchange creates a richer experience for everyone. People who are engaged in the process become invested in the outcomes. That’s why we bring everyone to the philanthropic table and make their voices heard.
