WHO IS ANONYMOUS PHILANTHROPY?

WE ARE SPECIALIZED PHILANTHROPIC ADVISORS

Let’s Create More Impact and Fulfillment – Together.

We are specialized philanthropic advisors who believe philanthropy is capable of creating more impact, more fulfillment, more magic, more wow! 

For more than 20 years, we have empowered highly successful individuals, families, and foundations to maximize the power of their philanthropy and solve the problems they care most about.

We believe the old model of giving (needs a tune-up), and take an entrepreneurial approach to the causes our clients care most about. When there’s no obvious solution to a problem, we build one from the ground up.

We sit at the intersection of an amazing network of thought leaders, subject matter experts, donors, change-makers, celebrities, and icons. We engage this network to build powerful movements that catalyze the change our clients want to see in the world.

We don’t think philanthropy should be measured by dollars given away but by impact and fulfillment–which are most powerful when achieved in balance. 

WE HELP CLIENTS STRATEGIZE AND LEVERAGE OPPORTUNITIES THAT CAN

Create Even Greater Impact.

PHILANTHROPY WITH

More Impact

$1M given strategically could deliver the impact of $100M given to underperforming solutions.

We help clients find, strategize, and leverage philanthropic opportunities to deliver the greatest possible impact and solve problems at scale.

Studies show giving to the most effective organizations can create 100X more impact than giving to the least.

PHILANTHROPY WITH

More Fulfillment

Our clients roll up their sleeves to help define success, shape strategy, and connect to the solutions they enable.

They work alongside thought leaders, innovators and icons to do more than write checks or attend galas.

WE BELIEVE THE TRADITIONAL MODEL OF GIVING NEEDS A TUNE-UP.

Philanthropy Done Differently.

THE TRADITIONAL WAY

Reactive, Driven by Grant Requests

Measured in Dollars

Passive, Relying Entirely on Others

Can Be Impersonal and Transactional

Unclear Outcomes

THE ANONYMOUS WAY

Strategic, Driven by Purpose

Measured by Impact

Active, Engaging to Create Solutions

Brings Joy, Fulfillment, and Meaning

Knowing You Made This Happen

CHANGING THE WORLD WITH

Our 5 Step Process

STEP 1: DEFINING PURPOSE

Our Process Begins By Meeting You Where You Are.

Some clients arrive with a defined problem they are ready to solve. Others have spent a career supporting a wide portfolio of programs. While others are new to philanthropy and ready for an exploration of causes, needs, and opportunities.

Together we will explore questions so that we can understand:

STEP 2: STRATEGY & RESEARCH

We Tap Into Our Unparalleled Network of Thought Leaders.

We are proud of our extensive network of scientists, doctors, icons, CEOs, deans, journalists, change-makers, and leaders. And we seek to understand any subject by first connecting with those who know it best.

We compile our findings into an Ecosystem Landscape document which includes topics such as:

  • Key Statistics, Overview & History

  • Insights From Subject Matter Experts

  • Nonprofits & Organizations

  • Areas of Need & Areas of Opportunity

STEP 3: BIG IDEAS

And we do mean BIG ideas.

Let’s put Lady Gaga and the Dalai Lama on stage together to raise awareness of kindness. 

Let’s build a fly fishing lodge in Montana where disabled veterans can go to heal.

Let’s architect a food distribution solution to deliver more than eleven million pounds of food to 350,000 people.

Let’s leverage Artificial Intelligence to help tens of thousands of formerly incarcerated people create professional resumes and find jobs.

Let’s build a cohort of eco-projects from across the planet to save under represented species.

Let’s work to end to childhood drowning by educating thousands of pediatricians and millions of parents.

STEP 4: ACTION PLANNING

Plan the work. Work the plan.

With big ideas in hand, we shift into a strategic Action Planning process to build a roadmap that is goal-oriented, measurable and tangible. 

Client goals are articulated. Expectations are set. All team members, partners, and collaborators are aligned around:

  • Goals

  • Strategies

  • Intended Outcomes

  • Timeline

  • Budget (It’s worth noting, we do not determine our clients’ budget. Clients set their own budget based on a shared understanding of scope, scale, geography and other factors.)

STEP 5: FLAWLESS EXECUTION

The Signature Philanthropic Initiative

The result of our exploration, research, ideation and planning phases is a Signature Philanthropic Initiative designed to:

  • Address the specific challenge you care most about

  • Create leverage to ensure dollars are catalytic and highly efficient

  • Be communicated to clients and their team with clarity and consistency

  • Be implemented flawlessly

  • Create outsized impact and bring immeasurable fulfillment
