Your business is successful. Your giving should be just as intentional.
Expertise, infrastructure, and hands-on guidance to run a real philanthropic program—without a foundation, a CSR team, or another job on your desk.
For entrepreneurs, family-owned businesses, and the advisors who help them plan what comes next.

WHEN GIVING BECOMES ANOTHER JOB
Generosity is not the problem. Infrastructure is.
You may already sponsor community events, support causes you care about, respond to requests, or make charitable contributions throughout the year. But without a defined strategy, giving can become reactive, inconsistent, difficult to manage, and nearly impossible to measure.
The larger your business grows, the harder it becomes to answer the questions that shape your philanthropic strategy:
- 01What does my company stand for?
- 02Which issues and communities should our philanthropy support?
- 03How do we identify strong nonprofit partners?
- 04How should funding decisions be made and documented?
- 05What did our philanthropic support help make possible?
- 06How does this connect to our brand, employees, family, wealth, and legacy?
Large corporations have departments, staff, systems, and advisors devoted to answering those questions. Most privately held businesses do not.
The GiveBack Strategy closes that gap.
You do not need another platform. You need a philanthropic practice.
Grant software assumes you already know how to run a giving program. This starts earlier—and then builds the infrastructure to run it.
FROM GENEROSITY TO STRATEGY
Move from good intentions to intentional philanthropy.
The GiveBack Strategy takes you from:
“I want my business to give back.”
Where most owners start
“I know what my company stands for.”
And where every dollar went, and what it made possible
I know which issues and communities our philanthropy supports, how nonprofit partners are selected, where our charitable dollars are going, and what that support helped make possible.
HOW IT WORKS
A guided process. A customized strategy. A system built for you.
DISCOVER
We begin with your values, business, lived experience, community relationships, current giving, financial considerations, and long-term vision.
DESIGN
You identify the causes and communities your business wants to support. I translate those choices into a philanthropic mission, funding approach, decision-making process, and measures of progress.
BUILD
I translate your strategy into a customized GiveBack Portal with the guidelines, applications, review tools, agreements, communications, reporting processes, and resources needed to operate it.
FUND + LEARN
You make all funding decisions. The GiveBack process helps you document those decisions, track your philanthropic dollars, review what you are learning, communicate your impact accurately, and refine your strategy over time.

A professional home for funding guidelines, eligibility screening, applications, review and selection, award and decline communications, grant agreements, and post-award reporting.
Your Grantmaking Playbook
The operating guide for your philanthropic program—documenting the purpose, process, roles, criteria, decisions, and lessons that shape your approach.
Your Private Resource Library
Short, guided learning experiences that help you understand each part of the process, paired with the tools and templates used to manage it.

A shared framework for working with your wealth manager, CPA, attorney, or charitable-account provider when financial, tax, estate, or business-transition planning is involved.
Ongoing Strategic Guidance
A trusted thought partner to help you evaluate opportunities, navigate decisions, protect the integrity of your strategy, and adapt as your business and philanthropic vision evolve.
A DIFFERENT APPROACH TO GIVING
Invest in the organizations doing the work—not only the work they deliver.
Strong programs depend on strong organizations. Yet traditional philanthropy often restricts funding to direct services while underinvesting in the people, systems, technology, leadership, financial stability, and infrastructure required to sustain those services.
The GiveBack Strategy helps entrepreneurs look beyond a list of activities and ask a more useful question: What does this nonprofit need to sustain its work and make measurable progress over time?
This is how generosity becomes informed investment—and how doing good becomes doing good, better.
Fund what helps the work endure.
Choose what your giving would invest in, and the report rebuilds.
Organizational Conditions are investment targets—not eligibility or maturity standards. The nonprofit names what should become stronger. The funder’s role is to invest in that work.

The question changes from “What will you deliver?” to “What will this investment make possible?”
VALUE BEYOND THE CONTRIBUTION
Your philanthropy should create value on both sides of the relationship.
A well-designed GiveBack Strategy helps nonprofit organizations pursue their work with stronger resources—and gives your business a more meaningful way to express its values.
Values-Driven Brand Positioning
Make your commitments visible through a clear, credible philanthropic identity grounded in what your company actually does.
Customer and Community Connection
Build deeper relationships with customers and communities who want to understand what your business stands for.
Employee Engagement
Give employees a meaningful way to connect with the company’s values and participate in its community investment.
Impact Reporting
Communicate your investments and their results with accuracy, context, and respect for the nonprofit partners doing the work.
Charitable Planning
Coordinate your philanthropic goals with qualified financial, tax, and legal advisors to identify opportunities appropriate to your circumstances.
Business and Family Legacy
Create a documented philanthropic practice that can grow with the business, involve the next generation, and support future succession or exit planning.
THE GIVEBACK NETWORK
Meet nonprofit organizations prepared to steward philanthropic resources.
Entrepreneurs who are new to philanthropy should not have to sort through hundreds of unfamiliar organizations—or rely on who happens to make the best introduction.
The GiveBack Network is a private, curated ecosystem that helps participating businesses discover nonprofit organizations aligned with the issues and communities they want to support.
Participation is not open to just anyone. Nonprofit organizations must complete the Nonprofit Mastery Academy, undergo verification, and receive final approval before entering the network. Completion does not guarantee selection; it establishes an eligible pool of organizations that have invested in strengthening their leadership, operations, financial practices, and ability to steward philanthropic resources.
For business owners, that creates a more thoughtful starting point. For nonprofit leaders, it creates access to a new stream of informed philanthropic capital.
WHO IT’S FOR
Built for leaders who are ready to be as intentional about their impact as they are about their business.
The GiveBack Strategy is designed for:
- Entrepreneurs and business owners who are already giving but lack a formal strategy
- Growing companies ready to establish a credible community-investment practice
- Families who want to define a shared philanthropic vision and involve the next generation
- Founders approaching a liquidity event, succession decision, or business exit
- Athletes and high-profile leaders seeking an impact portfolio aligned with their values
- Wealth advisors, RIAs, CPAs, attorneys, and family offices seeking a philanthropic strategy partner for their clients
FOR WEALTH AND FINANCIAL ADVISORS
Your advisor manages the financial vehicle. I build the philanthropic practice around it.
A donor-advised fund, charitable trust, or other giving vehicle can hold and distribute charitable assets. It does not articulate what your client stands for, create a fair grantmaking process, manage nonprofit relationships, document what charitable support helped make possible, or help a family put its values into practice.
Explore an Advisor Partnership
The client retains full authority over every funding decision. The GiveBack Strategy does not provide investment, financial, tax, or legal advice. Clients should rely on their qualified advisors for guidance in those areas.
MEET AMBER WYNN
Philanthropy expertise—on both sides of the funding relationship.
Amber Wynn has spent more than 30 years working across the nonprofit, philanthropic, corporate, and academic sectors—as a nonprofit executive director, grant writer, funder, corporate philanthropy professional, consultant, and educator.
She understands the infrastructure business owners need to manage their funding decisions—and what nonprofit leaders need to steward philanthropic resources without being depleted by the process.
The GiveBack Strategy brings those perspectives together in one high-touch advisory experience.
“I help you turn your commitment to giving back into a clear philanthropic strategy—and build the infrastructure, processes, and relationships that allow it to become a lasting part of how you do business.”
