Philanthropic Coaching
Make a Positive Impact Through your Generosity
The lived experiences of women are often best served through a nuanced approach to philanthropy, taking into account how women give, our perspectives on how to impact change through our dollars, and the pride of knowing that regardless of our giving levels, we can take great pride in identifying as “philanthropists.” Our women’s philanthropy coaching work includes giving our clients the top research in women’s philanthropy, as well as the opportunity to network and share experiences with other clients within the YFJ sphere.
What impact do you want to make through your giving? And what legacy do you want to leave?
If you are new to philanthropy, we can help you to set your goals and priorities and to determine the best way to establish a new foundation or entity.
If you’re a seasoned philanthropist, we can help you reassess your priorities and refresh or expand your portfolio, as well as determine new vehicles for and methods of giving to suit your resources and needs.
The Philanthropic Portfolio
Helping you to Make a Generous Impact
YFJ Consulting exists at a unique intersection between fundraising and philanthropy, so we are constantly aware of what is happening in the nonprofit arena from both the organizational lens and from the donor perspective.
With this in mind, we are adept at creating customized philanthropic portfolios, based upon the client’s desired impact and the sectors they’d like to support.
Leave it to us to do the due diligence on finding the nonprofit endeavors that fit your philanthropic priorities and to suggest the ways that you might contribute for the greatest impact.
