OUR FOUNDERS

Stacey Choe and Natalie Kennedy draw on a breadth and depth of experience to build bespoke programs for RIA clients and expand existing frameworks for greater impact.

Passionate about ensuring their clients’ giving has the greatest impact possible, they often share their knowledge in interviews and writing, including as co-editors of the well-regarded A Philanthropist's Guide to Giving (March 2023).

Stacey and Natalie have both moderated and been panellists at a variety of industry events including AVPN Global Conference on Unlocking Cross Border Philanthropy; Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy's Philanthropists Insights for the Institute for Environment and Sustainability; Fireside Chat: Live from COP26 at APC's annual summit; Monetary Authority of Singapore Family Office Circle Webinar; Sustainable Finance Initiative Family Impact Summit (Hong Kong); Volunteerism Movement in Singapore at Global Pro Bono Summit; and Corporate Volunteering at the American Chamber of Commerce Singapore.
