Family Philanthropy Advisors  >>  Home

Family Philanthropy Advisors provides philanthropic services, management support and counsel to individuals and families of wealth, their funds, trusts and family foundations, advisors and officers on a national and international basis.

FPA’s professional staff and network of consultants bring a team approach and decades of high-level experience to their clients. By leveraging the skills, systems and backgrounds of the entire professional team, FPA provides high-level support for giving and governing.

Our experience tells us that individual and family philanthropy can be highly strategic and have true impact when it:

  • Arises from the family's deepest values
  • Incorporates family members’ passions and interests
  • Thinks big
  • Builds knowledge
  • Finds focus
  • Leverages other resources
  • Engages collaboratively
  • Expects accountability

With support, family members can enjoy learning, strengthen relationships, bridge generations, build a legacy, find joy, and truly make a difference.

By incorporating best practices and decades of experience, FPA can support family philanthropy at its best: philanthropy that is strategic, high-impact and ultimately deeply rewarding.

"Philanthropic families who are just starting out, or who have reached a transition of some sort, couldn’t do any better than retaining FPA to assist. The firm is one of the best in the country. Their honesty, integrity and diplomacy are beyond reproach. They bring to the table a depth and breadth of experience one doesn’t often find." Anne Etheridge, Executive Director, The Peter Norton Family Foundation

"FPA has a deep understanding of strategic philanthropy and helped us find ways to leverage our giving to have maximum societal impact. They are competent in handling all of the details of a complex and challenging administrative process, allowing us to spend our time on the most satisfying aspects of our grantmaking. FPA staff is multi-talented, efficient and ethical. Best of all, they are a delight to work with. I never realized philanthropy could be so much fun."
Penny George, President, The George Family Foundation
