Let’s Tap Into the Big Jar

Most nonprofits focus on cash gifts, but cash represents only a small fraction of American wealth.

Philanthropy Architects helps your organization access the 91% of wealth held in non-cash assets through smart, asset-based giving strategies that unlock larger and more meaningful gifts.

Grow Your Nonprofit's Impact by Unlocking the 91%...

Many charities miss transformational gifts because they are not equipped to engage donors who hold appreciated assets such as real estate, business interests, or investments.

We help nonprofit teams understand how to identify and cultivate these donors, how to talk confidently about asset-based giving, and how to integrate Balance Sheet Philanthropy into everyday development efforts.

Did You Know?
The average American has 9% of their net worth in cash while 91% is in assets.

Why Asset-Based Giving Matters

Current giving habits lean heavily toward checks and credit cards, but this represents only a small fraction of the wealth available for generosity.

Donors who hold appreciated assets often want to give more, but they need a nonprofit partner who understands how these gifts work and how to help them unlock both tax benefits and greater impact.

We equip your team to step confidently into that role.

Think of us as an adjunct member of your staff enabling you to rollout a successful game-plan serving donors while creating milestone gifts using assets.
