We believe that sustainable impact comes from understanding and working in connection and collaboration with the communities directly impacted by some of the world’s most intractable problems. We also understand that today’s challenges require a flexibility on the part of the donor to find solutions that work in various environments.
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.

During her 15 years in both private and public philanthropy Yvonne has observed a wide range of investments, some of which have yielded lasting improvements for families and communities, and meant success for the donor.
