At Neithercut Philanthropy Advisors (NPA), we help families achieve excellence and derive fulfillment from their charitable efforts. It is our firmly held belief that philanthropy can be — indeed, should be — an exciting and rewarding experience. We handle the philanthropic affairs for a select group of families and we advise foundations on how to engage in effective philanthropy. By providing our clients with the confidence, direction, and capabilities they need to make a greater impact with their giving, we are able to help them realize more personal fulfillment from their efforts. In short, NPA helps successful families become successful philanthropists. Families often begin their philanthropic journey knowing they want to make a positive impact, but they are not sure how to go about it. Or, they have struggled with their giving for a while, and have found that giving money away can be a lot harder than they expected. Through our work, we have had the opportunity to help our clients overcome many of the challenges that families and family foundations face. Our solutions include offering outsourced staffing for operating foundations and managing transitions for new and established foundations. The firm was founded in 2005 by Mark Neithercut, who has more than 25 years of experience working with families and foundations. Today, NPA’s team works with individuals, families, and foundations to achieve their charitable goals.
