PHILANTHROPY DONE WELL

Helping high-net-worth individuals, their families and charitable organizations make greater philanthropic impact.

At Northport, we work with motivated individuals and families who want to make  greater philanthropic impact on the community and societal issues they care most about. We believe that a disciplined, purposeful approach to giving not only allows donors to enjoy more fulfillment and establish a lasting legacy, but also strengthens charitable organizations they support.  

​

We also help organizations that rely on philanthropic support to better understand donor motivations and what it takes to build a sustainable and highly effective fundraising program.

Services

We work directly with donors, families, professional advisors and organizations to help them define and achieve their philanthropic goals

FOR DONORS
We work with individuals and  families to develop and implement plans that allow them to take control of their philanthropic agenda, know when to confidently say "yes" or "no", and make a greater difference though giving.

FOR ADVISORS
Philanthropy is an important part of comprehensive wealth management. We work with trusted wealth advisors and other professionals when clients wish to make a bigger difference in their communities and society through philanthropy. 
FOR FAMILIES

Family philanthropy often involves stakeholders across two or three generations. This can present special and sometimes unforeseen challenges as the responsibility for giving transitions from older to younger family members.

Peter Fardy, Principal

Peter Fardy founded Northport Philanthropic to focus on working with impact-orientated donors, families and charitable organizations partner more effectively to drive greater impact through philanthropy.

Peter spent the latter half of his professional career leading university advancement and fundraising offices. During this time, teams he has led have worked in partnership with donors to invest over half a billion dollars in philanthropic commitments from generous individuals, families, foundations, and corporations. He has also served as a director and board chair for many local, regional, and national charitable organizations.

GREAT LISTENER, AUTHENTIC AND THOUGHTFUL

"Peter is a great listener. He wants to fully understand a funder’s objectives in order to craft the right philanthropic investment opportunity. In building out a new initiative with Peter’s support, we appreciated that he heard our desire to draw on a strong evidence base in making design decisions. The end result was better because Peter was involved in the process. Peter is authentic and thoughtful and a joy to work with."
