Empowering Donors & Nonprofits

Balance Sheet Philanthropy

Philanthropy Architects helps generous individuals and strategic nonprofits unlock advanced giving opportunities that go beyond traditional methods.

About Philanthropy Architects

At Philanthropy Architects we aim to serve strategic US nonprofits by serving their donors.

Our focus is to help generous benefactors utilize tools and strategies that Congress has put in place. Often you can choose between involuntary philanthropy, i.e. taxes, in favor of voluntary philanthropy using appreciated assets.

Our Approach

We help nonprofits and their donors unlock gifts of assets for greater impact and tax benefit.

Most Americans hold only 9% of their wealth in cash and 91% in assets—yet nearly all charitable giving comes from that small cash slice. Philanthropy Architects helps nonprofits and donors tap into the far greater potential of gifts like real estate, land, and business interests, creating milestone gifts with meaningful tax benefits.

Our Services

Donor Services

At Philanthropy Architects, we help donors unlock smarter, more impactful ways to give—beyond traditional cash donations.

By using appreciated assets such as real estate, business interests, or investments, you can often reduce or even eliminate long-term capital gains taxes while supporting the causes you care about most.

Our team guides you through proven, congress-approved tools that align generosity with financial wisdom, helping you “disinherit the government” in favor of lasting impact.

Whether your goals are immediate tax savings or long-term legacy planning, we make it simple to turn your assets into enduring good.

Nonprofit Services

Most nonprofits focus on cash donations and miss the far larger opportunities hidden in donors’ non-cash assets.

Philanthropy Architects helps organizations tap into the 91% of American wealth held in real estate, business interests, and investments—expanding your fundraising potential far beyond traditional campaigns.

Through coaching, donor education, and tailored implementation tools, we equip your team to confidently engage asset-based gifts and create milestone contributions.

Think of us as an extension of your staff, helping you unlock new sources of generosity and long-term growth.

“At Philanthropy Architects, we’re committed to helping donors and nonprofits discover new ways to give that make a lasting difference.

Our team’s financial expertise and thoughtful giving strategies have uncovered new avenues of support for donors they never thought possible.

Thanks to our guidance, donors can now contribute in more meaningful, tax-efficient ways, helping raise more funds and make a greater impact on the missions of nonprofits.”
