How it works

Six simple steps to start giving with purpose

PhilEx helps you find charities that reflect your passion and purpose in six easy steps: discover, connect, and make a difference.

  1. Step 1 of 6

    The Search

    If you have experienced difficulty selecting a charity to support, then you would not be alone. Most people struggle with the ever-ambiguous task of identifying an organization that not only means something to them but also ensures maximum community impact. With 30 years of experience in the charitable sector to draw on, I can effectively uncover who this is for you.

    The Discovery

    Establishing a lifelong connection between you and the charity of your choice is at the heart of everything Harmonia aspires to achieve. This connection is too important to be just a transactional experience. Allow me to take you through an easy, thought-provoking exercise that will ensure your experience as a donor is nothing short of extraordinary.

    The Research

    Based on the results of our Discovery phase, Harmonia will conduct the research necessary to identify the charity options you will inherently feel a connection to. The charity profiles I develop will include all of the most important facts and considerations I know are on the minds of donors. I will do all the heavy lifting for you.

    The Findings

    The ultimate outcome of our time together will be when you select the charity of your choice based on the results we achieve in steps 2 and 3. By the time we reach this important step, you will have a thorough understanding of the choices in front of you and be in an ideal position to make a decision that feels good to you and your family.

Opportunity for change

We understand philanthropic challenges

Through the PhilEx program, we’re uniting efforts to empower advisors, donors and communities, creating lasting impact and meaningful change for everyone involved.

Clients of advisors need guidance

Many people find it challenging to identify organizations that reflect their values, foster meaningful connections and drive lasting change.

Donor engagement and retention

Without ongoing donor support, organizations struggle to fulfill their missions, both now and in the future.

For professional advisors

Connecting great people with great causes

A philanthropic experience

Numerous studies point to the fact that people who give to others, of their time and resources, feel happier, experience less stress and, as a result, live longer. In addition to the tax advantages of making a charitable donation, I want to help your clients feel happier. We can do this together in an easy, affordable and deeply meaningful way.
