Let us help you build your foundation
We go beyond helping you simply start a philanthropic foundation. 1+ builds on this by building a complete funder.
Experience directly from a nonprofit background.
Our background is within the non-profit sector itself. The 1+ team has served as Executive Directors, Grant Writers, Event Coordinators, Program Administrators, Human Resource Managers, and Volunteers in a variety of charitable causes. As such, we have a unique approach to the administration of foundations.
Rather than setting up your foundation to simply meet legal obligations, 1+ builds on this by creating a complete funder, that is ready to start distributing gifts within an overall strategic process for real community impact. All while operating as independently as the client requires.
Meet the Team
At 1+ we offer personalized service with the benefit of over three decades combined experience in non-profit administration, backed by a Juris Doctor and M.B.A.
