STRATEGIC PLANNING

Whether you have established a private foundation, give via a donor advised fund or from your checkbook, or are seeking greater focus before ramping up your philanthropy, Fathom Impact can help you navigate the complexities of giving to maximize the impact you hope to effect.

We’ll work with you to ‘design-think’ your philanthropic strategy—applying creativity, empathy, and experimentation to shape an approach that’s uniquely yours. This strategy will guide your decisions and optimize both impact and fulfillment.

These services can include:

• Crafting a mission, vision, and values statement to serve as your North Star.

• Defining core impact areas to concentrate your resources for maximum effect.

• Conducting deep landscape analysis of your chosen fields and geographies to identify opportunity areas and potential challenges.

• Articulating clear grantmaking strategies, guidelines, and evaluation criteria.

• Designing a governance structure and staffing plan built to achieve your mission.

Through this work, we help transform generosity into strategy—clarifying your purpose so every gift moves you closer to the impact you intend.
