Foundations

Vantage Point Philanthropy understands that every foundation is different, and we tailor our services to meet your specific needs.

A Partner in Making a Better World

We work with donor advised funds, private, family, corporate, community, interest area, municipal and education foundations. Over nearly 30 years, we have developed a broad and deep understanding of the philanthropic field and the incredible power it has to do good in the world. We also know foundation Boards and professionals face numerous challenges in leading and investing in community change within complex systems, sometimes with unclear goals and entrenched obstacles — if this work were easy, it would already be done. We admire your passion for doing this good, difficult work and we are committed to helping you achieve your goals.

“Vantage Point Philanthropy made what typically would be a dull and dry planning experience, a bright and energetic discovery of the Foundation’s potential moving forward. Gina Covert’s experience, insight and attention to detail made it a pleasure working with her to identify best practices for our organization.”
