Open Impact

A trusted guide to
envision, design, and accelerate your philanthropic impact.

We make philanthropy simpler and more meaningful.

We partner with private donors, foundations, and networks who are committed to the repair and healing of our planet and its people.

Our name, Open Impact, speaks to our foundational values: impact and openness. We are single-minded in our pursuit of impact for the clients and issues we serve. And we are open about the many approaches that making an impact can take.

Our approach works.

Our client relationships have unleashed $12+ billion in philanthropic investments. And that’s just the beginning.

When assets are strategically aligned, deployed, and invested, individuals and their families are uniquely positioned to contribute to a more just world.

We position private donors and their families for a legacy of impact.

Together, we work creatively, urgently, and with flexibility to identify and support transformational solutions for the most challenging problems of our time.

Open Impact advises donors at all stages of the giving process to strengthen capabilities for making accelerated, strategic investments and deepen family engagement:

Early stage conversations to define vision and areas of focus
Scale-up of programs and grantmaking
Governance and legacy plan development
Refreshing and updating plans at key inflection points
