Partnering to Unlock Potential
At Giving Tree, we believe organizations of all sizes can change the world. That’s why our not for profit consultants have spent the last decade helping small and mid-size organizations recognize and unlock their philanthropic potential.
Founded in 2008, Giving Tree has worked with more than 200 nonprofit institutions to drive thoughtful, sustainable growth. A woman-owned firm, our team of professionals leverages decades of experience in both consulting and in-house nonprofit roles to offer valuable strategic and tactical support.
While Giving Tree spent its early years primarily serving the Jewish community, our mission has expanded to include clients across faith denominations, human needs, arts and humanities, and other sectors. We call Chicago home, but our work includes partnerships with organizations around the world.
Many smaller nonprofits struggle to effect change with limited staff and financial resources, yet each organization’s challenges, strengths and vision are unique. By collaborating with clients every step of the way, our team builds thoughtful solutions to help nonprofits manage fundraising campaigns, meet professional development goals and plan for a stronger future.

Co-founded by two women, Giving Tree cares deeply about helping our fellow females develop leadership skills within our own firm and in the nonprofit community.
