Pioneering a global impact platform
Establishing a client’s global entity for philanthropy, sustainability and advocacy across D.C., New York and Europe.
- Situation
A new entity in a crowded field
The client was establishing a global platform for philanthropy, sustainability and advocacy across three markets at once — Washington, New York and Europe — in a field where credibility is granted slowly and rarely to newcomers.
- Approach
Buy credibility with structure, not with volume
We positioned the platform as a credible leader through advisory board roles rather than campaign spend, and combined traditional philanthropy with venture capital so the model could reach a scale that grant-making alone would not.
- Outcome
Co-investors and partners, in a field that is hard to enter
The platform attracted co-investors and partners in a crowded field, and now operates across D.C., New York and Europe as a single entity rather than three national efforts.
