Who We Are

Our Story and Vision

Giving aligns each of us with something greater than ourselves, fostering a deeper connection with others, our environment, our community. This truth seems to be lost on us.

In a fast-paced work culture, giving is an afterthought. Social pressure to maintain a positive public image has made acts of giving more performative than genuine. Even nonprofits- organizations devoted entirely to social impact- are often constrained by bureaucratic red tape.

Bloom Philanthropy Group was founded to reopen channels for everyone to easily access authentic opportunities to give. We envision a world where the power of giving is recognized by all, and support reaches those who need it most

Our Values & Philosophy

Integrity

Integrity is at the foundation of our relationships, decisions, and strategy. We act with honesty and consistency, ensuring our work reflects the highest standards of trust and accountability.

Generosity

At our core we reject the notion that giving back is a weakness. Charity is a powerful, strategic act- one that transforms not only communities, but profoundly transforms those who give.

Excellence

Like the clients we serve, we pursue excellence in every endeavor. From the strategies we craft to the partnerships we build, we strive for outstanding results that create lasting, authentic impact.

How We Work

We believe anyone can cultivate meaningful impact.

Our priority is to deliver exceptional results tailored to our client's needs, specializing in partnerships with athletes, artists, brands, academic institutions, and small businesses. We leverage a trusted network of consultants, creatives, and specialists to craft customized solutions for every client. Each and every project at Bloom is founder-led, ensuring meticulous guidance and the highest standard of execution from start to finish.
