The Curious Philanthropist is a boutique philanthropic consultancy that empowers individuals, families, and companies to dream big about the change they want to see in the world. Whether you're just beginning your giving journey, exploring new issue areas, deepening your impact, or collaborating as a family or group, we meet you where you are—with customized support that aligns with your values, pace, and learning style.
We also partner with financial, legal, and family office advisors to enhance their client services. By tapping into our network of seasoned philanthropic advisors, researchers, and issue-area experts, advisors can offer deeper impact strategies while remaining at the center of their client relationships.
Rooted in curiosity, creativity, and connection, The Curious Philanthropist helps turn good intentions into bold, meaningful action.
We meet you where you are on your philanthropic journey and craft a giving and learning strategy as unique as you are. No standardized solutions here – just personalized guidance tailored to your learning style, values, interests, and goals.
We champion curiosity and continuous learning as cornerstones of a truly fulfilling giving experience. We empower you to explore, question, and stay informed, providing the resources and support you need to deepen your engagement and maximize your impact.
Rather than fitting your needs into the capabilities of an existing team, we curate a bespoke team of Affiliated Consultants, drawing from a diverse network of experts and perspectives. This open architecture approach elevates our service delivery, ensuring each engagement is thoughtfully tailored to achieve the greatest impact.
At The Curious Philanthropist, we believe that curiosity is more than a mindset—it’s a powerful driver of meaningful giving. It invites you to look beyond the familiar, to challenge assumptions, and to learn alongside others.
Whether you're new to philanthropy or looking to re-energize your giving, curiosity keeps the journey dynamic and personal. It turns giving into discovery—and impact into something enduring.
We bring this spirit of inquiry to every client relationship, helping you move with intention, explore new paths, and craft a philanthropic approach that feels true to who you are and what you care about most.
Curiosity is the spark that makes philanthropy more meaningful, personal, and impactful. It helps you ask deeper questions, explore new possibilities, and connect with people and ideas that challenge and inspire you.
At The Curious Philanthropist, we believe a Curious Mindset transforms your giving journey into one of continuous learning and purpose. It means:
Curiosity keeps your giving dynamic and authentic—helping you grow alongside the impact you want to make in the world.
