For Grantmakers

Grantmaking is a science, but there's also an art to it - an art that KLMayer practices.

We combine experience, knowledge and technical expertise in the philanthropic industry with a holistic approach to guide organizational capacity building in foundations to increase the impact of grantmaking.

"Kris Mayer is an exciting and dynamic person to work with, and I have grown professionally from my association with her. She looks at an issue from many different levels and helps strategize the best possible solution. I look forward to collaborating with her on as many projects as I can."
