Our Philosophy

At JGA, we take a thoughtful approach to philanthropic consulting. We recognize that before it is a practice, a field, or even a profession, philanthropy is a complex, weighted interaction of people in nonprofit organizations and the millions of donors who invest in their work.

Our unique position in this relationship – at the intersection of donors and nonprofits – generates a particular value. There are shared challenges of mission, strategy, and accountability that underlie the philanthropic relationship. JGA helps clients move beyond those challenges and beyond the amount of dollars raised or grants issued so that they can focus more clearly on the meaningful, enduring impact of their work.

Our Commitment

JGA takes pride in serving our clients with honesty, authenticity, and integrity. We help our clients achieve high standards, and we set high standards for ourselves. We promise to:

• provide the highest-quality service at all times,
• not exploit or leverage any client relationship for the benefit of another client, and
• provide authentic and strategic philanthropic consulting that is thorough, innovative, community-focused, and client focused.
