Featured Case Studies
Uncovering Innovative Ideas
The NeedA US-based foundation was in a rapid expansion phase. The organization had already defined their strategy and priority issues, and were eager to begin granting, but were not yet fully staffed. They needed help in further exploring nine issue areas and sourcing opportunities for investment in each. Additionally, the foundation was interested in expanding its geographic focus and was looking for innovative, impactful programs around the world.
What We Did
Reaching High-Potential Donors
The NeedA small, newly-formed team within a large US family foundation was tasked with identifying and securing private donor partners to co-invest in the foundation’s strategies and contribute to building a culture of philanthropy in key emerging markets.
What We Did
Supporting a Philanthropic Fund
The NeedOur client, a leading US foundation, was building relationships with philanthropists in the Middle East. A leading family in the region stepped forward with an interest in bringing together family and friends to give to issues important to them and to the foundation. Our client needed support to launch and maintain a new philanthropic fund in the Middle East region.
What We Did
Creating a High-Impact Program
The NeedA large foundation was well established in their strategic direction and issue areas. Granting in three-year cycles, they were looking for innovative ideas that could be scaled and had a desire to get the most impact from their funding.
