Who is this For?

Organizations seeking to develop legacy gifts with the help of allied advisors and platform partners.

What makes this unique?

We are focused on the community-based organizations in which we ourselves actively participate as donors, board members, leaders, and volunteers.

  • Houses of Worship

    These pass on our values to our heirs and keep our community vibrant. Few have endowments, few have expert fundraisers, but they have devoted donors, and we can help!

  • Homeless shelters, food banks, and arts organizations

    These, and other voluntaristic organizations, are the heart and soul of the community. And yet, few have endowments, few can compete for legacies. We can help!

  • Your organizations

    Where do you worship, give, serve on a board, volunteer, attend events, bring your chidren and grandchildren? Which of these are positioned for long-term success? They need our help and deserve it!

Founder | Philanthropy Offerings

I founded Philanthropy Offerings in 2022 to help my students and friends bring philanthropy home to the communities in which they are personally engaged. My original training was in Philosophy, Psychology, and Literature. After a career in financial services, I served for twelve years as The Wallace Chair in Philanthropy at The American College of Financial Services, responsible for the Chartered Advisor in Philanthropy (CAP) designation. In 2022, I was inducted into The Charitable Gift Planners Hall of Fame. My wife and I live in Sherborn, MA, near our two children and three (soon to be four) grandchildren.
