We can help you articulate your needs and aspirations, and build on your vision to help you achieve your goals. We develop practical solutions that are specific to you and your organization and that strengthen your ability to achieve your mission.

In our experience, success is a delicate combination of vision, leadership and planning. We aim to add value at every level by shaping the vision, ensuring the engagement of key actors and stakeholders, and facilitating planning that is based on market-based research and evidence.

We believe that philanthropy plays a different role in each region of the country, and around the world. We have full national reach in Canada, and unrivalled global reach with advisers worldwide.  Our national offices are located in Victoria, Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal, and Moncton with lead-country offices in London, Hong Kong, and Sydney, Australia.

All our senior practitioners have experience with the philanthropic sector internationally and locally. We bring to all of our work an acute awareness of the cultural and regional dimensions of philanthropy and fundraising; we can translate and adapt best philanthropy practices from around the world for you.

We can work with you to help you do things differently, more effectively, so that philanthropy is supporting and shaping your hopes for the future in alignment with your mission. We work to find thoughtful, creative solutions because we find that success in what is a very competitive marketplace, relies on creativity.

We will work as an extension of your organization at every level, whether that is leadership, board members, program staff or fundraising team. We will integrate right into supporting you to add to your ability to reach your goals.
