Expertise

Philanthropic Coach and Mentor

Exponential Philanthropy mentors and coaches social sector leaders interested in exponentially increasing their major gifts fundraising capacity.

As a Mentor, I bring attentive listening, understanding, belief in leaders, and a commitment to their success. We will challenge you, offer perspectives, connect you with other leaders to learn from, celebrate your wins, and learn from challenges. A custom mentoring program is about reaching new levels of performance and potential.

As a Coach, my job is to see what the client can’t see and help them transform that aspect of their organization by reshaping their thoughts, feelings, actions, and skills. A custom coaching program helps leaders focus on their highest value opportunities so they can have the biggest impact. Typical coaching sessions cover donor strategy, management and leadership challenges, support on Board-related or Governance matters, and the development of philanthropic programs and strategies to take to market.

We partner with visionary leaders to make philanthropy a central component in their life.

All of this meaningful work is done in partnership and with an eye towards creating a legacy that will last for generations.

We are currently privileged to serve as Philanthropic Advisor to Jeannie and Jonathan Lavine, Trustees of The Lavine Family / Crimson Lion Foundation.

Transformational Change Agent

Exponential Philanthropy serves as a Strategic Partner to TGP Consulting, a leading nonprofit consulting firm.
