The Curious Philanthropist is a boutique consultancy that works with individuals, couples, or families at the beginning of their philanthropic journey or at a clear point of transition. This often follows a liquidity event, inheritance, sale of a business, divorce, or the increasing involvement of the next generation.
Giving may already be part of their life, but it feels fragmented, reactive, or overly transactional. They are curious and thoughtful, seeking clarity around the values that will guide their philanthropy, exposure to issue areas that resonate, and a more intentional way to build a meaningful portfolio of organizations aligned with who they are—individually and as a family.
They are not looking for prescriptions or rigid frameworks, but for a trusted partner to help them explore, learn, and gain confidence as their philanthropic approach takes shape.
Rooted in curiosity, creativity, and connection, The Curious Philanthropist helps turn good intentions into bold, meaningful action.

You don’t need certainty to begin....only curiosity.
Philanthropy isn’t a decision to rush. It’s a path to explore.
Confidence comes from understanding, not obligation.
The most meaningful giving is learned over time.
Many people delay giving not because they don’t care, but because they care deeply.
The fear of getting philanthropy wrong often keeps people from starting at all.
Good intentions deserve a thoughtful process.
Philanthropy should feel human before it feels strategic.
