What We Do

Daylight was founded by leaders committed to excellence, innovation, and equity in philanthropy.
 
We are strategists, researchers, entrepreneurs, storytellers - and above all, practitioners - with experience in philanthropic advising in the U.S. and abroad. At heart, we are collaborators and advocates, thrilled to support the talent and passion of the Daylight community.
Education and entrepreneurship, starting with the launch of the Prismatic Accelerator, is the first effort dedicated to increasing multicultural ownership, influence, and impact in the philanthropic advisor sector.  Our flagship program, the Impact Philanthropy Advisor Certificate, is designed exclusively for wealth and philanthropic advisors to advance your practice, client relationships, and impact.
New, empirical research on advisors and the developing field, such as our latest report, U.S. Philanthropic Advisors 2024: Professional Development, Practice, and Knowledge Gaps. This research is the first of several initiatives to better understand the experiences and needs of philanthropy advisors as crucial yet understudied agents of social change.
Impact and services, which includes an effort to understand and support unmet potential for legacy giving and growth with HBCUs and social justice organizations. We are also working with our first enterprise client to support their regional strategy, and will offer fiscal sponsorship via our affiliated nonprofit.
Our Advisor Hub connects a community of industry practitioners to refine and perfect their craft so they may better serve clients and donors.  For now, follow our LinkedIn page for the latest news and the conferences where you can find Dien and the team. 
Purpose x Social Impact, going beyond technical philanthropy to support advisors with elements of vocation, growth and transitions, social capital, and meaning-making, to further align well-being with community and impact.  Look forward to workshops and tools for advisors, as well as options for partnering to support clients.
