Supporting Corporate Philanthropy

Whether you’re an entrepreneur who has launched a company, a shareholder in a privately held company, or involved in a family-owned business—your investment in its success is undeniable. The company’s reputation, along with its relationships with employees, vendors, customers, and the broader community, are of utmost importance. This is where establishing a charitable initiative within your company can elevate your business.

Philanthropy is good business! Not just because you want to be a good corporate citizen but because philanthropy is also a strategic opportunity to differentiate your enterprise in a crowded marketIt also influences employee retention and customer satisfaction.   

We can help. 

Since 2000, we have partnered with business owners and entrepreneurs to establish or expand their corporate philanthropy programs. Instead of standard packages, we provide personalized, concierge-level service tailored to each client’s unique business needs. Our approach ensures that you, your family, advisors, and community stakeholders are actively engaged throughout the process, aligning it closely with your business objectives.

Studies show that enterprises with a clearly defined purpose, often exemplified by a philanthropic strategy, typically experience more growth, have higher customer satisfaction, and have a reputation as champions for their community.
