There are a few words that immediately come to mind when I think about Deb: Strategic. Energetic. Creative. Resourceful. Encouraging. Responsible. Fun. Genuine.”

—Bill Oechsler, President, XLER | Marketing & Brand Consultancy

The name of the firm, Philanthropia Partners, was crafted and woven deeply from Deb’s philosophy of the work.  Philanthropia, derived from the Greek, means “loving what it means to be human.” Partners reflects the intentional, rich, collaborative relationship that we create with our clients. And finally, the Philanthropia Partners symbol. The three leafed icon represents the three connected dimensions of philanthropy – time, talent and treasures. When an organization’s or person’s time, talents and treasures are clearly defined, appropriately aligned and effectively allocated, they thrive and grow.

That’s why we’re here.
