MOving wealth with courage & Love

Meet Marsha Davis, Philanthropic Strategist

I partner with individuals, families, and foundations to fund Racial and LGBTQ+ justice movements.

Let’s build a more just world together, one where wealth is a tool for collective healing and freedom. This is sacred work. Difficult work. Beautiful work. Above all, it's courageous work. And you don't have to do it alone.

Ways We Can Work Together

01

Donor Advising

I help you clarify your vision, define your priorities, and develop a strategy that moves resources boldly and effectively.

02

Grants process design

The way we move money matters just as much as where it goes. I work with you to design grantmaking processes that minimize extractive paperwork and honor the time and brilliance of movement leaders.

03

Grants management

I handle the complex, behind-the-scenes work of your giving, from grantee research and relationship-building to due diligence.

“DSC helped us engage in meaningful discussions with stakeholders that are important to us and come away with a great vision that is resonant with our Theory of Change”
– Kevin Douglas, Grantmakers Concerned with Immigrants and Refugees
“I want to offer the deepest gratitude, from the depth of my soul, for your support of our philanthropic initiative. I was thinking back to our first meeting where you said, ‘Kate, you know what you want to do but are stuck in moving forward. I believe I can help bring this to the next stage.’ You definitely did, with enthusiasm and guidance that kept me grounded through the process.”
– Kate Shem, donor
