Built on Partnership

Philanthropy Squared was founded on a simple idea: organizations should be able to access highly experienced fundraising leaders without being forced into a one-size-fits-all consulting model.

We work with mission-driven organizations at different stages of growth and across many fields. Some clients engage us for a focused challenge. Others ask us to remain alongside them through implementation, growth, or transition. In every case, we seek to become a trusted extension of the team—bringing sound judgment, honest perspective, and a shared commitment to the mission.

Senior experience.
Shared purpose.
The right team for each client.

Philanthropy Squared brings together accomplished fundraising and nonprofit leaders who share a belief that good counsel should be experienced, collaborative, and useful in practice.

Our advisors have served as chief development officers, executive directors, campaign leaders,
advancement executives, strategists, coaches, and consultants. Collectively, we have built fundraising
programs, led major campaigns, secured significant philanthropic investment, strengthened organizations through transition, and worked across a wide range of missions, communities, and organizational settings.

That breadth matters. It allows us to shape each engagement around the client—bringing together the
right combination of strategic perspective, subject-matter expertise, leadership experience, and hands-on support.
