HOW WE WORK

Leading America offers a variety of services intended to promote private philanthropy and ensure the integrity of charitable giving. We help you know  who you are giving to, and how your resources will be used. Our goal is to develop and maintain mutually beneficial relationships between donors and recipients, 

Our aggressive research team conducts exhaustive due diligence on your behalf,  rigorously investigating and collecting the kind of detailed information our clients need to feel confident writing a check. Our goal is to ensure your philanthropic interests are protected, and that your contributions will be used efficiently and effectively.

High net-worth individuals who plan to make philanthropy a priority can often benefit from establishing a foundation or starting their own nonprofit organization. Leading America's team of nonprofit management experts can advise and assist you or your company with setting up a philanthropic foundation as a venue for long-term charitable giving.  

Leading America works with individuals who have a desire to make philanthropic investments in a wide range of areas. We take a matchmaking approach, taking the time to understand your priorities, objectives, and values, and matching you  with the organization or organizations where your contributions can have the greatest impact.

At Leading America, our goal is that every donation is a win-win for our clients and the organizations they support. We will often work directly with the leadership of a recipient organization to ensure the resources you hope to invest will accomplish the specific goals you have identified.

Corporate and private foundations often have rigorous application procedures for their grants and gifts. The Leading America team works with foundations to complement their existing vetting processes and ensure that the interests of the foundation or corporation are preserved and protected with every grant or gift. 

While some donors choose to maintain anonymity, a charitable gift can be an ideal way to communicate what you value to the world, or bring attention to a pressing issue or area of great need. Using our decades of experience in strategic media relations and public affairs, Leading America can put your gift in the spotlight, bolster your public image, and provide an opportunity for the recipients of your generosity to increase their public profile.

Our clients include:

• Professional Athletes
• Actors and Celebrities
• Corporations and Corporate Foundations
• High Net-Worth Individuals and Family Foundations

With few exceptions, to protect the integrity of our role as a philanthropy advisor, Leading America only represents donors or organizations offering funding, not recipient organizations.
