About
Our services are tailored to the unique needs of the philanthropic sector, designed to bridge the overlapping pillars of strategy/impact, legal/compliance, and operations/governance. In this way, we are positioned to offer foundations a holistic, efficient and integrated approach, whether supporting a discrete need or providing ongoing services akin to those of a hybrid executive director/general counsel. We believe that this integrated approach results in value-creating opportunities and efficiencies for our clients and the sector at large.

Kate Q. Williams, ESQ.
Kate Williams is the Founder and Owner of Philanthropy Partner LLC. She has had the unique opportunity to support private foundations and grantmakers from nearly every vantage point - as legal counsel, as a grantee, as a funder, as an operator, and as a board leader. That breadth of perspective allows Kate to help foundations operate in a way that balances strong grantee partnerships, good governance, strategic direction and responsiveness, and funder leadership in a way that brings those priorities into collaboration with one another and reflects stakeholder perspectives. Kate partners with visionaries and trustees to ensure that grants and collaborations are not only impactful, but are executed with careful attention to a foundations’ priorities, strategy, and legal compliance obligations.
