2. We have varied experience:
With start-up and legacy organizations of different sizes; with organizations that have a regional focus to organizations working on the national and international level; with organizations headquartered in the U.S. or abroad; with funders and with nonprofits.

In working with European/German-speaking and Israeli charities to help them secure funds in the U.S. and adopt best practices in philanthropy. We "speak" the languages of philanthropy and are international specialists,
