Blackwood provides client-focused advising and educational services to Black givers. Meaningfully designed giving experiences are created by working with clients to match their giving with their authentic selves and maximize the impact.
“Working with Blackwood helped me clarify my role as a board member and I am now considering a leadership position, participate in my company’s corporate match and get other colleagues involved in the organization’s annual fundraiser.”
