I am a passionate student and teacher of positive relationship building, and love empowering you to bring out the best in your partnerships and your personal best to the world through giving practices.

I am passionate about and committed to the evolution of the human-human and of the human-animal bond.

Client Profile:
I work best with individuals and organizations who seek first to make personal leadership breakthroughs and harness effective communication styles and practices before empowering their organizations to change. I work effectively with clients who are team players and who are in rapport and aligned with partners for affirmative outcomes. I am successful with clients who are joyful, dynamic and who create positive communication cultures around them.

Specific offering: We support committed givers who want to step forward more boldly. Our coaching work helps you answer the question, "How much can I give?" and to give wisely and joyously at your full capacity. See full description.

We also provide half-hour phone consultations to help you learn about the myriad peer networks for donors, and to suggest ones that best match your interests. See full description.

Bio: Christopher and Anne Ellinger (formerly Christopher Mogil and Anne Slepian) are nationally-recognized writers, counselors, workshop presenters, and organizers on issues of wealth and philanthropy. In 1991, they founded More than Money, a nonprofit peer education network with over 2,000 participants nationwide, and in 2007 launched the Bolder Giving Initiative. Anne and Christopher's writing includes the American Book Award-winning We Gave Away a Fortune, the guidebook "Welcome to Philanthropy," published by the National Network of Grantmakers, and numerous articles in the quarterly More Than Money Journal. They also direct and perform with True Story Theater.

Anne and Christopher have coached hundreds of individuals and couples. Their coaching addresses the emotional, practical, and values issues involved in philanthropy, and draws on both their personal experience as inheritors and donors. Their style is deep and informal. They are available to work individually or together, in person or by phone.

Client profile: Our one-time phone consultations are open to all givers. Our ongoing coaching is for people with the capacity to give at least $1 million in their lifetime. Our ideal client is self-aware and ready to take action. Although we often do bi-weekly phone sessions, our favorite way of working is face-to-face over several intensive days, in which we can together draft a financial plan, giving plan, and legacy plan.

As one of the leaders of Resourceful Women in the 1980s and 1990's, and as a woman business owner and modest inheritor and investor myself, I understand how important support can be in keeping on track.

I enjoy helping people organize their priorities, sort out their history, clarify what they want to do and separate that from what they are willing to do. I'm good at addressing the issues of working with financial professionals in a collegial relationship.

While I have no coaching degrees, I have YEARS of practical experience as a teacher, presenter, consultant, and I am the author of several books and curriculi, including:

• Mapping the Territory
• Money Minder: Simplify, Organize and Manage Your personal Financial Records
• Taking Charge: A Personal Guide to Managing Projects and Priorities

Client profile: Start up inheritors, or entrepreneurs who are ready to move and follow through. At age 80+ myself I have a busy life, so am only interested in being a short term coach. Send an email and we can discuss if I am the right person for you. I am happy to meet with those in the greater Denver area willing to come to Boulder. A donation per hour of work to nonprofits we choose together in lieu of payment, please.

Special offering: Inspired Legacies works primarily with wealthy individuals and families. Often we are the trusted advisor or guide who helps to assemble or work with your team on your giving priorities and then, with you, make them known to the rest of your family and/or financial team. Our work is about making your giving more strategic and transformational for yourself and the world. If you feel stuck or just want an experienced sounding board or cheerleader, we motivate and help you keep your eye on your goals and dreams. We focus on supporting families and individuals to make time to enjoy your money and your energy through the pleasures of nonprofit engagement and entrepreneurship.

Our services as a nonprofit work on a pay it forward basis. Another donor, why it could be Donor Diva, or another generous soul, if you call us, will have paid for our time with you. If you are satisfied, then we'll ask you later if you want to enable us to help another family with some of our time. Facilitating retreats for families or complex meetings or evaluations of what families' needs and current questions may be, does require a bid from us. We charge below or at market value. We try also or instead to refer you where you can be best served. This is perhaps our greatest service.

Come and let's begin a dialogue about what you hope to change and preserve during your lifetime. I work generally by phone, but we travel to about 40 cities per year so try to also see clients when possible.

Bio: Tracy Gary is a philanthropist, nonprofit entrepreneur and legacy mentor who has worked to help others experience the joy of giving charitable dollars to causes they care about. Through her eighteenth start-up, a nonprofit called Inspired Legacies, she consults with a diverse range of individuals and organizations to improve and expand philanthropy and volunteerism.

Client profile: If you are considering starting a foundation, or a donor advised fund, a family foundation or a giving pool for or with your partner or spouse, or have kids or young adults or business friends who you'd like to spark in giving, we may have options and ideas that will support your decision making and completion. Having worked with over 6000 nonprofits and 3000 families (about 400 of them in reunions, retreats and group meetings) we especially have experience with multi-generational families and their complexities and possibilities. As the author of Inspired Philanthropy: Your Step by Step Guide to Creating a Giving Plan and Leaving a Legacy, much that I know is now available to you and the world through the book, but the refinements of relationship and the support for one's life to keep at dreammaking are what distinguish our services at Inspired Legacies.

Special Offerings: My client work includes advising on issues of: management, fund-raising & philanthropy, personnel, human resource policy, marketing, program ethics, organizational systems & protocol, business writing & professional correspondence, and donor services & relations.

Specifically for philanthropists, for example, I advise on the emotional aspects of your charitable giving planning, race & class issues as they come up in any part of the grant making process, developing ethical tools for working in communities different than your community, how to navigate through family history and politics while doing philanthropy itself, and more. My greatest tools have been: listening, dialoguing, and being present with compassion for my clients.

Bio: After 18 years in nonprofits as a Development Director, major donor, and heading an organization as President, I came to know that when my leadership was supported by peers - I thrived. So I started a business where I could give back the same quality of attentive professional guidance, and coach others to reach their personal best.

This work also includes donors and philanthropists, who may also find themselves in positions of leadership or who want to lead on a Board or committee. Leadership within a family is comparable to that of an executive or a manager, and the family structure can be such that you are held back by your other roles. I have explored these issues with many family members in conversation and through their charitable giving trends.

The role of leader is by nature an isolating one. Whether it's your money, your volunteer time, or accountability for other people's money, surrounding oneself with knowledgeable, compassionate advisors and/or coaches is exactly the safe harbor we need in order to rejuvenate and keep a just perspective.

Originally from the Midwest, I've been in California for over 30 years. And once I graduated from the University of California at San Diego, I moved to the Bay Area. I serve clients all over the United States and would like, one day, to extend my work into the United Kingdom. For more information, visit: www.pilargonzales.com.

Client profile: Leaders and executives of nonprofit organizations in the US seeking to reach their professional goals; Donors & philanthropists seeking emotional guidance & practical advice while doing grant making and gift planning; or anyone wishing to learn how to start planning their charitable giving of any financial level. Disclaimer: My services do not include financial planning nor deferred giving planning.

P.O. Box 622

lorihanau@grtleadership.com

Special Offerings: Lori's work is as a spiritual ally, guiding and supporting leaders, change agents and pioneers in strengthening their inner life and values to develop congruency with their outer world and actions. She works similarly with groups and networks as a spiritual space holder, communication bridge, and conversation facilitator, supporting the emergence of healthy collaborations and systems.

Bio: Lori grew up in New England in a successful entrepreneurial family that taught her a great deal about the central role that love, personal balance, and caring for one another plays in fostering strong leadership and healthy collaborative relationships. From a very young age she experienced a deep personal connection to what she calls the Mystery & the universal spirit. Her relationship to the intangible has played and continues to play a central role in shaping the direction of her life, in developing her capacity to "see" and "listen", in her ability to stand in and trust the unknown, and in strengthening her commitment to being of service. Lori spent the greater part of her career in the business world, including presidency of a manufacturing company and had great opportunities to observe and engage with many different styles of leadership and a myriad of organizational systems. She developed a clear sense for what causes leaders and the social eco-systems which they create to be vibrant and sustainable or, alternatively, to fall into dysfunction. In time, feeling a calling she couldn't ignore, Lori left the corporate world and allowed herself to enter a phase of deep inquiry and contemplation during which she attended a wide range of conferences and gatherings focused on different aspects of whole system change (including health, science, philanthropy, spirituality and business), observing and listening for what was emerging in the more conscious and innovative sectors of our society. Today Lori owns Global Round Table Leadership, a business whose mission is to call forth and support the shifts in consciousness, leadership and community needed to guide our creative endeavors and inspire us to support the emergence of a sustainable and collaborative world.
