We Take an Entrepreneurial
Approach to Philanthropy.
Giving typically begins with a grant request.
We start with a conversation.
What experiences have impacted your view of the world? What issues keep you up at night? What’s on your bucket list?
Over the course of many conversations, we identify the causes our clients care most about—and in together we create comprehensive, custom plans that produce results based upon their goals — in time frames that are often considerably faster than the traditional process.
We apply leverage. We connect dots. We amplify impact.
We call these programs Signature Philanthropic Initiatives, and they’re what sets us apart.
Strategies include grant-making, building of incentivized prizes, development of new technologies, integrated marketing and awareness campaigns, and more.

However statistics show that the system has erected barriers which prevent far too many capable citizens from reaching their true potential. The Benz Family Foundation asked us to address this inequity, at scale
