Who We Are

We help small-midsized private family foundations and large DAF holders make their philanthropy more thoughtful, effective and manageable.

Legacy Impact Group provides strategic advice and hands-on support to families who want to be more intentional about their giving but don't have - or don't want to build -a full-time philanthropy staff.

From developing giving strategies and evaluating nonprofits to improving foundation processes and preparing the next generation for leadership, we provide the expertise and capacity to keep philanthropy moving forward.

In short: we do the work behind the scenes so you can focus on the feel-good stuff.

  • Working with Rhonda took our second-generation family foundation from zero to hero. Rhonda kindly and patiently showed us everything we needed to know about the world of foundations and supported us to develop a mission, decision-making framework, and strategic timeline and direction that we can use for years to come. We wouldn't have been able to confidently run our foundation without her guidance. Rhonda is an essential asset to anyone who needs a skilled and caring hand at any stage in their philanthropic journey!

  • "Working with Rhonda has been a transformative experience for our family foundation. Her guidance helped us move from a more reactive, ad hoc approach to a thoughtful and strategic framework for giving. She brought clarity to our mission, helped formalize internal processes, and ensured we had the tools and structure to make more impactful decisions."

  • "It’s great to work with someone who has heart and thinks strategically. That’s Rhonda in a nutshell. "

    Client, CEO of a Family Business

  • "Recognizing that we sporadically previously communicated with [family members at private foundation] to coordinate our grant requests, Rhonda has been extremely helpful, not missing a beat to keep us informed of the important details and deadlines since joining their team, and we hope that we have the opportunity to work with her again in the future as well."
