1. K&C was created in an effort to push the needle on Philanthropy into
the 21st Century. We believe that family and corporate dollars can be put
to better use by financing solutions instead of funding problems. It is our
approach that goes to the heart of the issue our clients want to actually
see, feel and know that what they are doing in the world is going to make
a difference. We work with Families, Family Enterprises and their
Advisors to develop strategies for growth, transition and knowledge
transfer, skill acquisition, succession planning and legacy planning all
within the philanthropy and social impact space.
Unique to K&C is the Social
Impact Lab. This Lab is the
family foundation's or
family business's external
resource to roadmap,
design, rapid prototype
and test a new product,
service or business model
that can have both social
and financial returns.
Karma & Cents, a Social Impact Lab moving
from Traditional Philanthropy to Philanthropy 3.0

Working with a
Multidisciplinary Team
What makes the Karma &
Cents process different is
that we work within a
multidisciplinary team and
see the family or individual
as part of a larger system.
Understanding how putting
pressure on one part of the
system will impact other
parts and bringing together
the experts to see how the
pieces fit together.
