We formulate strategies that align with our client’s values and capitalize on opportunities within the conservation, clean tech, and democracy landscapes. Our process involves deep listening and reflecting the values and desired impact of our clients’ philantropy. We then collaborate in crafting an impact strategy and support its implementation by:
Analyzing the landscape and identifying suitable grantees.
Co-defining the expected qualitative and/or quantitative impacts.
Designing and providing support for grant structures, associated reporting, and result evaluations.
We believe the networks, added capacity and perspective of our clients in support of a grantee partner are equally important as any financial support. We help align that additional value with the needs of our clients’ grantee partners and provide supporting data and case studies of successful partnership models.

A BRIEF HISTORY OF T(H)EMISTOCLES
Themistocles, a visionary Greek general in the 5th century BC, safeguarded the roots of democracy by tapping into Athens' unmatched naval potential.
Understanding the crucial role of sea power, he shrewdly convinced Athens to invest in a powerful navy and the Athenians to leave their farms to become naval warriors. Themistocles' skillful coalition-building with other city-states forged a united front against the formidable Persian Empire, deftly navigating the intricate political landscape of Greece.
His tactical instincts played a key role in defending the fledgling democracy from the advance under Xerxes. The victory of Greece over the Persian Empire stands as a testament to Themistocles' savvy in leveraging unique strengths, crafting alliances, and navigating political complexities to champion the ‘particular freedom’ of ancient Greece.
Themistocles' visionary leadership in service of ancient Greece in their war for independence echoed through history, influencing the founding principles of the American Republic. The emphasis on democratic ideals, innovation, and coalition-building seen in Themistocles' era resonated in the principles that inspired the American Constitution. Inspiration from ancient Greece's commitment to democracy, recognition of the importance of citizen participation, a system of checks and balances, and the defense of liberty are part of his legacy.
