In managing our family foundation's day-to-day operations, FPA adds value in countless ways.
They have a deep understanding of strategic philanthropy and help 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
It isn't just about tracking grants and making payments on pledges and due diligence. The
great group at FPA brings passion and a commitment to the causes and the people we are
trying to benefit. They know our community and they know the issues that their clients want
to focus on. Everything they do on behalf of the James Ford Bell Foundation is done well and
in a manner that makes our trustees, indeed our entire family, very proud of what we have
been able to accomplish. Our grantees very much appreciate the considerate, respectful and
supportive relationship that everyone at FPA has with their organizations. Sometimes, FPA
becomes almost an extension of their own organization, helping them with capacity building
and "friend-raising," in addition to the grantmaking. I can't recommend FPA highly enough to
anyone who is looking to raise the level of their giving and foundation management.
