Navigating good giving in practice.
Philanthropy often focuses on how capital is deployed, impact is measured and opportunities are scaled. These things matter. But giving doesn't need to be large, fast or public to be meaningful. good giving is ultimately shaped by values, relationships, and the realities of life.
We're committed to making philanthropy deeply human and celebrating the joy in it. We take time to understand your situation and what you're trying to achieve before anything else. Clients often tell us that the process itself and experience of working with us feels as valuable as the outcome.
“ This is a fantastic piece of work and a reflection of just how well you listen and how good you are at asking the right questions to highlight and fill the gaps in my own thinking! You’ve managed to make sense of a disorganised idea that captured my interest but scared me a little, to a project that I feel sure has potential to change many lives and that I can’t wait to jump headfirst into! I couldn’t have asked for more. Thank you.”
“ The flexibility to explore the professional and the more personal stuff has been one of the best parts of this process. You were challenging! but in a disarming way. ”
" We approached The Giving Concierge with some ideas for our charitable foundation. As a result of Helen's diligence and expertise we were able to initiate a project that exactly met our requirements. Helen was able to offer knowledgeable and experienced advice from the outset. I can highly recommend Helen’s skills, and the care with which she works is really impressive. "

“ You were outstanding at clarifying my needs, clearly articulating them and effectively and efficiently managing follow up actions, all whilst sharing the benefit of your knowledge and insight.”

“ I have worked with Helen over a number of years. Her insights into charitable giving have been invaluable to me. Helen doesn’t use jargon, she just says it as it is. Very refreshing. Even when we don’t have a project on between us, I know that she keeps my philanthropic mission in her mind. I will continue to use Helen’s expertise when I need it.”
