Vision. Strategy. Implementation.
A trusted advisor with a global network of contemporary art collectors and patrons, museum directors and curators, and journalists.
Establishing a legacy is far more than simply “giving back.” Scott Stover specializes in progressive approaches to sustainable systems building, prioritizing the development of financially robust venture philanthropy models designed for long-term impact.
As a former investment banker with a background in international special situations investing, Scott draws upon the diverse expertise of a global network to generate strategic plans grounded in financial viability, international collaboration, cross-sector growth, and measurable impact. Instead of focusing on isolated and localized instances of giving, Scott works with individuals, families, and institutions to ensure that resources are strategically channeled to achieve maximum reach and longevity.
Scott champions a uniquely holistic and hands-on approach to philanthropic planning, positioning non-profits strategically, financially, and operationally within a competitive environment, and overseeing implementation from start to finish. In addition to establishing financial and legal frameworks, Scott manages all aspects of a non-profit’s development, including board building, events programming, strategic partnerships, communications, and branding. Anchored by strong operational structures and embedded within a wider cultural and socio-economic context, non-profit initiatives are positioned to achieve sustained systemic impact at a global scale.
The success of any philanthropic initiative depends on its sustainability over the medium and long-term. Rather than relying on traditional fundraising to secure donations, Scott works creatively to identify diverse, independent, and recurring revenue potentials specific to the client’s core mission.
The process starts with a collaborative in-depth analysis of the specific needs of the individual or institution, assessing objectives and developing targeted goals. By encouraging clients to think expansively about the visionary potential of their philanthropic initiatives, Scott opens unforeseen opportunities for income-generation and establishes synergetic frameworks for revenue growth over time.
