We Are The Champions,
My Friends
Whether we are working in the nonprofit or philanthropic sector, our collective efforts are changing this world for the better. It has been proven that the more we work together, our collective efforts have a stronger chance at becoming sustainable outcomes.
Virtual Philanthropy raises the voices of those making incredible strides under the radar. We turn well-intended philanthropists into well-informed supporters. We are the champions of inclusion, of best practices, of clarity, and of collaborative impact. We are the cheerleaders for the people and organizations taking bold and open approaches to systems change. We are also the architects of strategies that equip willing actors in this space with the most effective tools to contribute to the collective effort in a meaningful way.
About the Work
Virtual Philanthropy aims to be the connective tissues between philanthropy and nonprofit, deftly navigating the shifts that come from both internal and external actors. Our success is rooted in our human-centered approach to everything from coaching to fundraising.
Communities are defined by culture, but nonprofit communities are defined mostly by access. We have seen what happens when we increase access to visibility in these areas. Our agility allows us to work seamlessly between donor and nonprofits that help create stronger communities defined by results.
