How We Help
Philanthropy is about the people it impacts – and effective philanthropy can impact millions. So why wouldn’t we want to make it as effective as possible? By analyzing behavioral trends and compiling donor insights, we help establish a strong, data-driven foundation for your philanthropic efforts. With access to essential community impact data and the expertise of our in-house analytics team and subject matter experts, the possibilities are endless.
Our Partners
No matter your project, we're here to help you catalyze your vision.
Transformative growth requires precise strategy and planning. We want to help our non-profit partners get there – and beyond. Ignite helps non-profits execute strategies that secure the necessary resources for major projects, from building new facilities to launching impactful programs.
We collaborate with foundations on their community investment strategy, enabling them to maximize the impact of each donated dollar. We also relieve foundation leaders from daily management tasks, allowing them to focus on their mission while we handle the intricacies of running successful grantmaking programs and managing non-profit relationships.
We partner with civic and community leaders to bring their visions to reality. Over the years, we’re proud to have worked alongside some of the most innovative changemakers in our communities – powering emerging projects that will impact generations to come.
