Fundamental is a boutique consulting practice that works with individuals and family foundations to help them increase their impact on the issues they care about most. While this is a new iteration of the company, the firm has been in business for nearly 20 years. During that time, we developed an expertise in starting new foundations, working on intergenerational family foundation issues, building out strategic giving portfolios, and managing day to day foundation operations. We have a unique expertise working with those in the creative community in Los Angeles, but also work with families across the country. Over time, our team has managed grant portfolios on a range of issues – including arts education, Jewish life, civic engagement, economic development, food policy and hunger, the environment, and women's health. When relevant, we incorporate political giving and advocacy strategies, develop issue awareness campaigns, represent clients on key non-profit boards, and manage events that engage our clients' networks to affect change.
