More than 700,000 households in America each hold at least $5 million in net worth. These newly affluent individuals increasingly want to channel some of this wealth to philanthropic causes. However, first-time serious involvement in philanthropy can be confusing. In our current economic atmosphere, not only are donors demanding more information about nonprofits, but they are also evaluating various mechanisms for giving. Should they start a giving circle? Pledge company stock? What programs should be funded? And how can the money be granted?

We have worked closely with high net worth individuals, celebrities, publicists, fan clubs, legal teams, and financial advisors and can assist you in optimizing your philanthropic resources.
