WHAT WE DO
Philanthropy Sherpas provides inspired outsourcing for funders, nonprofits, and businesses focused on public benefit. We can lighten your load through
From the heavy lifting of on-going program management to a one-time assist in identifying the right path — and everything in between — we offer over 50 years of experience in grantmaking and nonprofit work.
Our curiosity, sense of humor, and passion for helping groups work to better our world have only been fed by our nonprofit adventures. We have mistaken thin ice for solid ground so you may not have to. We can smell weather turning for the worse and know how to make mid-course corrections. We've helped manage unexpected leadership transitions in mid-expedition. We know how to recognize and sequence organizational readiness for your next climb. And we've learned the importance of celebrating at the summit.
We believe the right questions and an approach of appreciative excitement trump mind-deadening process. Instead of solely focusing on what's not working, building from passions and assets can unleash your group's collective intelligence. We encourage our clients to take risks and even celebrate mistakes in order to create learning organizations that have higher aims than just doing nothing wrong. We have committed our work lives to building a thriving third sector that strives for game-changing strategies instead of band-aiding the status quo.
