Since
1987, Pacific Foundation Services (PFS) has worked with private foundations
to design and implement their charitable giving programs. As one of
the oldest and most respected philanthropic management firms in the
San Francisco Bay Area, PFS applies extensive knowledge of the nonprofit
and foundation sectors to help clients enhance the depth, scope and
outcomes of their contributions.
A Personal Approach
Because our
clients have individual preferences, PFS offers a personalized approach
to serving private foundations. We meet with our clients often and listen
carefully to understand their vision. We then create a tailored set
of administrative and program
services to achieve their unique philanthropic goals. PFS staff enjoys
working with family foundations as they encourage younger members to
become actively involved in the process of charitable giving.
The Benefits of Working with PFS
PFS
clients have access to an experienced staff
with extensive knowledge about nonprofits, foundations, and a wide
range of giving possibilities.
Our structure helps our client
foundations make grants in a more cost-efficient manner. Client
foundations share PFS’ staff and services,
which multiplies expertise while decreasing operating costs.
We reduce the amount of time that
foundation boards have to spend on management, so that they can spend
more time – and have more fun - making grants.
We work to enhance your enjoyment
in giving, because just as your philanthropy should make a real difference
in the lives of others, so should it be a satisfying part of your
life.
