Advancing the honor of philanthropic giving
The Wells Group is a private consulting firm dedicated to enhancing the effectiveness of all forms of philanthropic giving. We offer consulting services to private, family, and community foundations and nonprofit social sector organizations pursuing charitable and educational purposes.
Vision:
"Philanthropy means the honor of giving."
Extended to all human cultures, this statement proposes that giving is at the root of human relationships, helps create a sense pf community, and is at the heart of our humanity. It recognizes that by giving the gift, we honor the recipient and begin to build community; and by accepting the gift, we honor and help create balance for the giver. We envision a society in which private philanthropic giving -- of money, knowledge, skills or service -- work effectively to advance the public good.
Mission:
Advancing the honor inherent in philanthropic giving, The Wells Philanthropic Group works to develop and strengthen all dimensions of the philanthropic community -- foundations, individual donors, and nonprofit social sector organizations.
Our mission, then, is to help you advance your mission, and harness the potential for positive change inherent in the philanthropic sector.
