IMPACT Strategies, in collaboration with SEC With Intention, supported a family foundation with deep roots in both Texas and California to define its philanthropic priorities and develop its first strategic plan. In addition to crafting the strategy for the foundation, we provided support and guidance on the foundation structure, governance, and processes.
San Diego-based Family Foundation
IMPACT Strategies provided a San Diego-based family foundation with succession planning support and guidance to best engage multi-generations in giving.

IMPACT Strategies, in collaboration with FSG, developed Illumina’s first comprehensive corporate social responsibility (CSR) strategy.

Illumina has fully implemented the strategy with 3 focus areas: Accelerating Patient Access, Empowering Our Community, and Protecting Our Environment.
