We are a full service philanthropic consulting firm serving nonprofit organizations across several sectors including universities, social services, nonprofits, and humanitarian groups.
We’ve curated over 150 years of experience as Development Officers, General Counsel, Executive Directors, and more at leading nonprofit and higher education institutions. We channel that practical know-how into more than consulting. Each member of the Palmetto Philanthropy team uses a hands-on, real life, tangible approach to coaching and strategy that is a refreshing alternative to the norm.
We create measurable fundraising success for organizations raising more than $1 million annually.

Our ethos is based on simplicity and tangibility.
We know that trend reports, webinars and boilerplate frameworks can only take a team so far. Understanding and empowering each individual gift officer’s skill set and aptitude, and aligning that within the whole team, is the real difference-maker.
While our firm originated from the Palmetto State, we’ve grown into a distributed team with national reach. Each of our consultants bring a unique perspective and extensive background to fundraising. We approach client service as a collective team to support the unique needs of the organizations we serve.
