NEW PHILANTHROPY ADVISORS
What We Do We are philanthropic advisors specializing in connecting high net worth women donors to the most innovative and effective projects addressing education, health, economic development, and the environment in the US and around the world. We begin with a structured process to identify our clients’ deeply held values and desired philanthropic impact, then connect them to key projects where their investment can reap huge rewards. What is Social Entrepreneurship? The Social Entrepreneurs who lead social innovation are out-of-the-box thinkers revolutionizing global social change. Social Entrepreneurs don’t leave society’s needs to government aid, they enable people in need to help themselves by working within communities to find out what isn’t working, then fix it by innovating, tinkering, ultimately changing the system. The best projects “spread and stick.” “Spread and Stick” in Action… • In 1976 Muhammad Yunus started offering “microloans” to the poorest of the poor to enable them to start their own small enterprises. To date the Grameen Bank he founded with $27 from his own pocket has lifted 6.6 million borrowers out of poverty. • In 1985 Paul Polak developed an extremely affordable foot-powered irrigation pump for farmers making less than $3 a day to help them maximize their yields. Today foot pumps and small drip irrigations systems have increased the net income of the world’s rural poor by $200 million per year. • In 1983 Paul Farmer began by treating single families one at a time in Haiti. Today Farmer’s community-run primary healthcare programs treat over one million patients a year and are expanding across the globe. Win-Win. Win. We believe that the investments our clients make in cutting edge Social Entrepreneurial projects offer great reward. It’s a win-win: deep satisfaction for the our clients, life-shifting change for people in need. There’s another potential win. Our clients often wish to bring multiple generations of their family into the process. The result? A sense of shared family purpose, shared family values. The generations come together to write the “moral biography” together.

“Giving is an important route to writing your ‘moral biography’. By getting deeply involved in a few projects, both financially and personally, by being creative and helpful, by becoming a pre-emptive philanthropist, you can discover how writing that moral biography can be hugely satisfying.”
