About

We are founded in relationship-based philanthropy, governance and community partnership.
 
First, our thinking. We believe health care has the greatest ability to improve the lives of people and impact communities, and philanthropy fuels the ability to succeed. 
 
Second, our team. Each member of our team has more than 20 years of experience. Not as consultants, but as Chief Philanthropy Officers, Major Gift Officers, Planned Giving Officers and more. No other firm understands your challenges like we do.  
​
Third, our approach. We created the Transformative Philanthropy™ model which holistically addresses the most important levers to performance. We have also pioneered tools and processes to align and engage teams, leadership and boards to ensure the best possible outcomes.

Testimonials

  • Roy Lowdenback image

    Roy Lowdenback
    Vice President, Philanthropy, Baptist Health

    The team at Accordant elevated our vision and helped us build our team through strong strategic insight, programmatic expertise and leadership development. Through feasibility to campaign planning and launch, they helped us build a centralized support team – expanding us from one system employee to a team of 12 in just three years – while also ensuring that fundraising and impact remain local at our nine hospitals. Our philanthropy program has faced exponential growth in infrastructure since 2019 with an overall team of 37 staff members, while also experiencing increases in fundraising success – growing from an average of $8 million per year to more than $25 million in our most recent fiscal year.

    Ernest Vargo II, CFRE
    President and CEO, Eskenazi Health Foundation

    Very early in our relationship, it was apparent that we made the right decision…

    Throughout the process, Accordant’s entire team has worked diligently to get to know Eskenazi Health Foundation – our team, our strengths, and our challenges. They have truly embraced Eskenazi Health’s culture and have worked collaboratively with a number of leaders. Accordant’s leadership and team are very accessible and responsive. I look forward to continuing the partnership with them in the next few years as the last couple have exceeded expectations.

We've worked with the team for nearly five years on campaign readiness, elevating board engagement, and defining and implementing our gratitude brand. Everyone on the Accordant team is an expert in their specialty area and has brought immeasurable value as we've navigated and defined our strategies. Accordant is a valued partner and, quite frankly, the best in the business when it comes to healthcare philanthropy consulting!
