Advisory | Impact | Investment
Every decision we make as a firm to support the stakeholders we serve is grounded in principles around equity and inclusion. While Moore Philanthropy serves the needs of families from all walks of life, we have an intentional and demonstrated commitment to serving the African Diaspora and their families and building the wealth and influence of communities of color.
Whether philanthropy is new to your family or you’ve been actively giving for years, we can help you create the space for new conversations or simply revisit mission and vision to ensure your current strategy and giving are aligned. We will help you define success for you and your family, and ensure that your resources are being actively and aggressively engaged in helping to make change.

According to UNICEF and Save the Children, the economic fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic could thrust at least 86 million more children from lower and middle-income countries into household poverty by the end of 2020.
When I launched Moore Philanthropy in 2015 I made a commitment to highlighting investments made by donors in the African Diaspora, lifting up the demonstrated proof that we are investors and not only recipients.
