JGA Counsel

authentic and strategic philanthropic consulting

Foundation Services

Private foundations, community foundations, corporate foundations, grant-making public charities, and individuals of wealth are growing and changing the mosaic of philanthropy – one that relies more on research, outcomes, open communication, strategy, and partnership.

In our service, we’ve learned that those who bestow gifts and those who receive them hold much in common. Both seek to remain faithful to vision, mission, and values of an organization while operating effective programs. Both must sustain effective organizations and illuminate the positive impact of grants. And, both must meet societal scrutiny of their activities and measure the good they are doing.

At JGA, we’ve applied our more than 120 combined years of nonprofit experience not only to grant-seeking organizations, but to grant-making organizations as well. We offer foundations assistance with strategic planning and positioning, advising and consulting, and program evaluation.
