Our Approach
“What we do stems directly from what we believe.”
-Millicent Fenwick
A Simple Approach
When donors are deeply engaged in the issues they care about and disciplined in their giving, they help the organizations they support become stronger and better able to support intended beneficiaries, thus creating lasting change.

COMMITMENT TO EQUITY
We believe philanthropy must concern itself with matters of equity and justice. It should do good and not cause harm. We help you challenge faulty assumptions and uncover blind spots that could have unintended consequences on vulnerable communities.
NO ONE-SIZE-FITS-ALL
Philanthropy is personal and our approach is individualized to meet your unique needs. We begin the process by listening to you and working with you to shape our approach to your needs and priorities. Likewise, every community is unique. We help identify and facilitate the involvement of those with lived experience in the issues you want to address to develop effective and equitable grant making practices and outcomes
Ask the Right Questions and Do the Homework
Making decisions in philanthropy can be hard because the need is great and the resources are limited. Credo Philanthropy Advisors helps you get the information needed to make informed, impactful decisions on the issues you care about. We help identify opportunities, challenges, blind spots and partners.
Deliver Actionable Plans that Effect Change
Our combined knowledge, insight and experience in the nonprofit and business sectors will help us assist you in developing a giving experience that moves the needle on the issues you care about.
We build our relationship with clients based on trust, respect, curiosity, candor and fun.
