With over 10 million nonprofit organizations worldwide, including more than 1.8 million in the U.S., many face challenges like balancing ambitious missions with limited resources, along with the growing issue of an aging donor demographic.

With over 1.8 million non profits organizations in the U.S., many face challenges like balancing ambitious missions with limited resources, along with the growing issue of an aging donor demographic.

We’re here to help non profits overcome these challenges by aspiring to write the next chapter of philanthropy.

Our mission is to empower these organizations and forge meaningful partnerships with brands that enhance visibility, drive funding, and amplify impact—with an emphasis on engaging and attracting next-generation donors, who are the future of a nonprofit’s well being.

Pauline C. Argenson

Elevating your mission with expertise and care.

I am a French woman living in New York, deeply passionate about philanthropy and the power of connection. With over a decade of experience in PR, marketing, and events for luxury brands and consulates—including my role as Deputy Head of Events at the Consulate of France—I’ve had the privilege of orchestrating over 200 events for nonprofit organizations. These events allowed me to collaborate with global corporations, forge meaningful partnerships, and raise funds for social and cultural causes.

These experiences have profoundly shaped my understanding of philanthropy’s potential and inspired my mission to reimagine its future.

I believe the next generation of philanthropists is redefining the landscape of giving, offering fresh perspectives that go beyond traditional donations to emphasize sustainability, advocacy, and measurable impact. My goal is to develop innovative strategies that make philanthropy modern, engaging, and accessible for my generation and the ones to come, ensuring a thriving future for the causes we care about.
