Cascade Philanthropy Advisors helps donors working across a wide range of philanthropic issues—from education in the U.S. to trade in Africa. Our unique value is the hands-on, high-touch way we help clients apply the art and science of effective giving. We don’t just make recommendations; we roll up our sleeves to help clients put ideas into action, factoring in each client’s distinctive operating style. Our clients know we meet them precisely where they are and that we will walk through walls to help them achieve deeper impact as well as greater purpose, meaning, and joy.
