Most of our clients share a single notion—they want to make the world a better place. But they may not know where to begin. Or they may not have the processes and systems to ensure their resources will make a profound difference in the areas they care about most. Or they may simply want to work smarter to achieve their goals.

That's where Headwaters comes in. We specialize in four interrelated consulting services.

We help philanthropists:

• Define a vision and direction through strategic planning and program research
• Measure results through evaluation and learning
• Implement key strategies through effective grant management
• Maximize the impact of contributions through organizational effectiveness

The unique message of each client guides our working relationship. We believe that by listening carefully, the partnership between client and consultant produces the best strategic solutions.

We match client interests with our grantmaking knowledge and breadth of experience - from the arts and human services to education and the environment. Our clients are diverse, ranging from large corporate foundations to individuals. Our expertise allows us to serve clients equally well on a local, national, or global basis.

We work closely with clients and their advisors - including accountants, lawyers, and financial planners - to coordinate philanthropic objectives with overall investment plans.

The result is a thoughtful legacy to future generations.
