20 years of experience illuminates a fresh path.
We partner with philanthropists to unlock their potential & turn their visions for a better world into lasting impact.
We are a philanthropic advisory firm that specializes in supporting individuals and families in their giving and in managing collaboratives and grant-making initiatives that create long-term change.
Approach and ethos
ViaNova’s experienced team helps clients make sense of complexity — designing approaches that can evolve and sustain over time.
Across all of our work, we are guided by the same principles: we take time to understand the change our clients want to see and the structures and circumstances within which they work and live. We bring flexibility, care, and evidence-based practice to every engagement, drawing on decades of experience working alongside donors, nonprofits, policymakers, and partners
“Without craftsmanship, inspiration is a mere reed
shaken in the wind.”
— Johannes Brahms
Our areas of practice
Collaboratives & grant-making initiatives
We partner with foundations, corporations, and impact leaders who want to address complex, systemic challenges through grant-making initiatives or pooled funding. We design and implement initiatives and support them at critical moments across their lifecycle.
Individuals & families
We work alongside individuals and families throughout their philanthropic journeys — whether launching new foundations, navigating generational transitions, refining strategy, running grant-making programs, or scaling bold initiatives.
