PHILANTHROPIC ADVICE.

Seismic offers customized philanthropic advisory services for clients with a wide range of beliefs and budgets. We lead short-term projects and also provide ongoing support. Our team can be an efficient and effective alternative to hiring full-time staff. We partner with a variety of families, corporations, private foundations, and private wealth institutions to help them achieve greater impact with charitable giving. We provide the following services for our clients:

• Planning and facilitating board meetings and retreats

• Clarifying strategy and mission/vision to gain a clearer giving focus

• Serving as interim foundation executive directors

• Acting as a sounding board, and offering independent and objective advice

• Conducting research and due diligence on giving opportunities

• Identifying and connecting with other aligned funders and learning partners

• Engaging and empowering next-generation family members

• Reviewing grant proposals, and interacting with nonprofits to preserve funder anonymity

Seismic is here when your charitable giving requires outside perspective, when significant changes are taking place in your organization or family, or when your philanthropy needs more significant time and focus.
