Consultant for foundations, family offices, and nonprofit organizations
Meet Scott
I am a strategist and advocate with a two-decade track record of helping foundations, nonprofit organizations, and governments solve complex problems. I know how to run grantmaking foundations and nonprofit organizations to advance their mission-driven goals.
My expertise spans strategic planning, grantmaking processes, fundraising strategies, and board governance. In 2025, I am focusing on helping mission-driven organizations understand, adopt, and govern AI responsibly.
