OUR SERVICES
WE ARE YOUR GUIDES
TO HELP YOU SUMMIT THE
PEAKS OF PHILANTHROPY.
We believe that we can only serve as well as we are informed. Throughout the Discovery process we will get to know each other well. By gathering pertinent information regarding your giving, we gain a deeper understanding of of the underlying issues, potential challenges, and possible solutions. It’s also an opportunity for us to understand your giving goals and desired outcomes so that we can build a strategy that caters to you. The Discovery process will result in a Give-Well Profile that specifies your and/or your family’s goals, perspectives, passions as well formulate a giving framework (what desired outcomes are, what discourages progress towards that end, etc). The giving framework will inform LWG as we facilitate new grant opportunities, learn together and celebrate victories.
discovery
We often describe our work as an eHarmony for “givers” and “doers”. By identifying and engaging high-impact organizations, we seek to be a bridge that allows for transformative partnerships between funders and organizations. We believe that impactful partnerships are formed when parties are aligned in mission, strategies and values in the context of genuine relationships.
bridge building
Our grant application process is grounded in a deep respect for non profit organizations and shown by only requiring information that is consequential and substantive to the grant making decision. Lovewell’s SI Report articulate pertinent context in an intuitive and efficient way.

Areas that we are particularly attentive to are leadership, financial transparency & responsibility, and evidence of efficacy.
