Calvin Edwards & Company is a consulting firm that
provides philanthropic counsel to foundations, high net
worth families, and government agencies. Using an extensive
array of proprietary tools, it helps clients formulate
giving strategies and renders professional advice; assesses
giving opportunities in nonprofit sectors; evaluates
organizations, programs, and grants worldwide; and designs
and administers venture philanthropy projects. Since its
founding in 2001, the firm has served more than sixty
clients. Based in Atlanta, GA, it advises clients across the
United States and internationally.
Our purpose is to transform the way philanthropists make
giving decisions so they maximize the good that their
gifts accomplish and, in doing so, raise the quality and
effectiveness of nonprofit management.
To accomplish this, we draw upon a team of professionals
with extensive careers in nonprofit executive management
and governance, and business marketing and operations. Our
staff and partners have extensive experience in community
service and volunteering.
Are
we fundraisers?
No, we are not fundraisers. We work exclusively for donors. Our
uncompromised commitment is to provide independent, objective advice to
donors and grantmakers. Therefore, we do not perform work directly for an
operating publicly supported charity. Nor do we accept any fees from such
entities.

Are
we financial advisors?
No, we are not financial advisors. We do not advise on donor finances. We
do no estate planning, planned giving, tax minimization strategies, or
insurance sales, though we can refer to capable professionals if needed. Our
sole focus is on helping clients give effectively, and maximize the good
they accomplish.
