We engage insights to guide and support your mission.
Startup Philanthropic Infrastructure
- Assess current infrastructure and goals

Capacity Building
- Understand the essential elements of capacity

“Capacity building is whatever is needed to bring a nonprofit to the next level of operational, programmatic, financial, or organizational maturity, so it may more effectively and efficiently advance its mission into the future. Capacity building is not a one-time effort to improve short-term effectiveness, but a continuous improvement strategy toward the creation of a sustainable and effective organization.” Council of Nonprofits
Who We Serve
Types of Nonprofit and Philanthropic Startups
Charities As a startup choosing the proper program structure, raising awareness for your cause, and building funding are some of the essential elements on which to focus your time. We enable you to keep your attention on impacting the community you serve by helping you grow. Contact us today.
Corporate Foundations + Small Businesses Whether you have a formal corporate foundation structure with a Board of Trustees, or seek to establish such a structure or a simple nonprofit partnership, can you benefit from a review of your giving and service practices in local, regional, or global communities? The benefits may include stronger brand presence, advancement of your corporate position, positively engaged key stakeholders, enhanced leadership role and impact, top employee retention, and increased revenue and profits. For general inquiries, please contact us.
Private Foundations Are you a recently established, or newly formed family foundation, and need a gifting strategy to structure your philanthropic activity? We can help you clarify the family’s values that drive your generosity, and help you focus on the social and community issues and needs that are most important to you. If you would like to explore where your family foundation can offer the most significant impact, contact us for more information.

Being a small business owner, I have to wear many hats. I did not think I would have time to get involved in philanthropy, but then I found Useful Views Philanthropy. Abby helped me streamline my values and connected me to a nonprofit I love and admire. A year in and I’ve built a lasting relationship with the nonprofit and its constituents, thanks to Abby’s guidance. The investment has been worth my time and resources. – Brian
