Philanthropy Consulting & Advising

I have worked in the field of philanthropy since the late 90's and I delight in collaborating with clients who devote their lives and resources to both inner and outer transformation.I've had the privilege of co-founding and directing several funding organizations, advising dozens of individual donors and small foundations, and supporting the movement of tens of millions of dollars away from extractive/destructive industries and toward life-affirming, transformative purposes. You'll find more details about my background and experience is here. 

Through Resilience Resources LLC, I am currently supporting a handful of individual donors, families, and funding organizations with a wide range of services.I am experienced at working with donors who wish to remain anonymous, and bring a high level of integrity and care to my work. I am also an affiliated consultant with Ktisis Capital which offers a vast array of philanthropic advising and educational resources.
