Our values
We base our values on honesty, integrity, confidentiality and our unrelenting determination to ensure your investment achieves the outcomes you have been told it will.
Our Mission
We ensure that individual donors, families and foundations are supporting the very best projects in the world, so donors’ money is wisely spent and maximum impact is achieved.
Our aim is to enable funds to target projects that can achieve value for money, make a real difference, and are sustainable.
Recommending organizations that are transparent and brilliantly run is critical for us. We achive this by visiting every project, charity and NGO wherever they are based in the world.
Our philanthropy consultants investigate projects that make a difference to people’s lives, their communities and the environment we all share and need to protect.
Extraordinary Experiences
John Abbey leads on all donor assignments. He is supported by Haidee-Laure Giles and Dominic Smith. Together they have a wealth of experience spanning 30 years.
They have managed and established NGOs and charities. The team are highly experienced in working with individuals, Foundations and Governments.
John’s passion for wanting to see funds spent on projects that have real impact goes back to when he walked 2,000 miles across Africa. John saw first-hand the waste that seemed endemic at the time and wanted to play his part in changing the landscape.
John, Haidee-Laure and Dominic have worked in extremely challenging environments, from Lebanon and Syria to Bangladesh, Afghanistan and Sudan.
They also have significant experience in their home countries and in major cities. From New York and London to Hong Kong and Bogota.
Sometimes the greatest need is just a stone’s throw away from where you live.
