“Philanthropy Advisors helped me figure out how to give money strategically and to create a meaningful program of support for organizations working in my areas of interest: the arts, education, and Jewish life. They often represented me at important meetings throughout the City, negotiated terms of major grants on my behalf, and interfaced with my family office with regard to check writing and transmittal letters. Most important, they taught me how to say ‘no’ and still keep my friends.”
