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.

This combination of legal, governance, and operational experience, paired with a wide network across the philanthropic and nonprofit sectors, allows Kate to offer clients a comprehensive model that unites legal compliance, grant execution and strategy, board oversight and governance, and the day-to-day management and coordination of complementary supports. Where many advisors specialize in one piece of a foundation’s needs, Kate built Philanthropy Partner to serve as a single trusted partner for private foundations, addressing their needs in integration with one another.
