step into your power as a philanthropist —
a person with the vision and the resources to make meaningful,
positive change in the world.

Over the past two decades, I have collaborated with teams in the public and private sectors to channel tens of millions
of dollars of assets into worthy causes that help nature and culture to flourish around the planet. More about that here.

The vision of one philanthropic individual or family has the power to transform the world we share. Yet the path from articulating philanthropic ideals to actualizing projects can be overwhelming—especially for high-achieving people with little time to spare.

Between vision and transformation lies implementation, and that’s where the connective power and strategic clarity of KLP can take your vision for a better world from dream to reality.

The KLP Philosophy

Philanthropy is a crucial component of any truly successful life. But not everyone has the tools or understanding of how to make philanthropy a part of their lives—especially those who are navigating the responsibilities of financial abundance. And not everyone with significant financial resources has had the opportunity to consider what they’d like their philanthropic legacy to be, or how philanthropy might contribute to their life’s fulfillment.  

It’s my joy to work with people who carry a philanthropic desire and mission for change in the world, from the faintest glimmer of inspiration to project actualization, making it easy for significant giving to become a part of daily life. Whether you are managing intergenerational wealth, the profits of a lucrative exit event, or the returns of a fruitful career, I can equip you and your team with the tools to make giving a priority and a foundation.

I believe philanthropy should inform your life.of inspiration, and that as humans on this planet it is our utmost honor and responsibility to serve as a model of giving back.

How I Work

We start with a simple question: What do you care about most? 

Becoming a philanthropist begins with discovering and identifying your philanthropic mission. Our work will melt perceived barriers and allow you to navigate the stages of becoming a lifelong giver. Together, we’ll articulate what’s important to you—the organizations, causes, and issues—and the most powerful ways to make a difference in those spaces.

My education in International Politics, diplomacy, and financial management, my embodied perspective as a traveler, journalist, and photographer, and my insight from decades of involvement with NGOs provides a unique synthesis of heart and intellect.

Whether you are seeking a robust thought partner at the beginning of your philanthropic journey, a project consultant to maximize impact, or a 360º implementation agent, I am here to help you upgrade your life through giving. It is my pleasure to serve individuals and families in dreaming and executing their philanthropic desires.
