BE Philanthropy Partners is a boutique philanthropic advisory firm based in Atlanta, GA.

Founded by Elise Eplan and Staci Brill, our firm is comprised of experienced consultants who guide our clients through a wide range of issues and decisions that are critical to a focused, effective and aligned philanthropic practice.

BE Philanthropy Partners strives to meet the needs of each client in a comprehensive and personalized manner.

Some of the philanthropic endeavors our firm specializes in include:

  • Strategic thinking and facilitation that enables a family or philanthropic organization to articulate their vision, develop a mission and a satisfying giving plan.

  • Knowledge of best practices in philanthropy, including options related to structure, purpose, governance and giving practice.

  • Support to foundations at significant generational or financial transitions, such as the disposition of a business, a liquidity event, or the maturation of a future generation of trustees. We partner with our clients as they think through how a financial or family transition can fuel their philanthropic work.

  • Thoughtful and creative approaches to engaging the next generation (including preteens, teens, and young adults) in philanthropy, including methods developed by 21/64.

  • Innovative thinking regarding foundation, grantmaking, and family engagement strategies and impact.

  • Timely and intentional capacity to realize an organization’s goals when full­time staffing is not an option.

Connectivity

We value collaboration and partnerships and derive benefits from being part of the local, regional and national philanthropic conversations. We pride ourselves on using our relationships and knowledge of the field to connect people in ways that can leverage all resources.
