Vision and Strategy
Your philanthropy begins with what matters most to you: the values that guide you, the change you hope to create, and the legacy you want to build. Our team partners with you to clarify your vision, understand your ambitions, and translate ideas and intentions into a path forward for your giving. For couples, multi-generational families, and young inheritors, we help create alignment and a shared purpose. Together we co-create a practical strategy and actionable plan for turning your intentions into meaningful, lasting impact.
Grantmaking & Research
You want to know that your resources are going where they can make a difference. We are experts at gathering relevant data and making complex topics accessible through landscape scans and peer-benchmarking to help guide your grantmaking. We identify organizations aligned with your giving strategy, conduct thorough due diligence, and deliver tailored grant recommendations so you can make informed decisions. When a broader search is right for your goals, we can design and manage open call requests for proposals (RFPs) from start to finish.
Program Management
Whether you have a foundation, a donor-advised fund or other vehicle, or engage in philanthropy without a formal structure, we provide tailored management and operational support to help you achieve your philanthropic goals. RPA Advisors can act in a variety of capacities, from managing individual programs to serving as a fully outsourced foundation team, supporting governance, decision-making, grant-making, impact review, communications, liaising with your legal and financial teams, and other day-to-day activities.
