Our mission is to improve the quality of life in and around North East by identifying, evaluating and addressing community issues, building charitable endowments and promoting philanthropic and community leadership.

To that end, we partner with professional advisors to support philanthropy effectively, assisting in crafting tax-wise giving strategies that reflect clients’ passions. From administrative support to grant-making assistance, we manage the details, allowing advisors to focus on building relationships and meeting their clients’ financial and charitable goals.
