A sneak peek

A higher standard of wealth advice

We understand that advisor relationships can sometimes fall short of expectations. Our approach transforms common pain points into proactive solutions, delivering a seamless, elevated client experience.

Get Started
Mission-aligned portfolio construction

Screen for LGBTQ+-affirming values without compromising risk-adjusted returns. Your investments reflect your mission.

Outsourced CIO (OCIO)

Let your board focus on mission. We handle investment decisions, governance, and implementation — with full transparency.

Complex and non-cash gift acceptance

Accept appreciated stock, real estate, and business interests. Unlock the 97% of donor wealth that most nonprofits miss.

Endowment and reserve growth

Custom investment policy, spending policy analysis, and endowment strategy designed for your size and long-term goals.

Planned giving and legacy programs

Build the legacy giving infrastructure that funds the next decade of impact — with fiduciary guidance every step of the way.

Governance and board reporting

Real-time reporting, investment policy design, and governance frameworks that give your board confidence at every meeting.

Fundraising strategy, built into your financial plan

Managing your assets is half the job. Growing them is the other half. That's why Farther built partnerships with consultancy firms such as Marts & Lundy — one of the world's leading philanthropic consulting firms — and makes those partnerships available to every institutional client.

For LGBTQ+ nonprofits, this means access to the same major donor strategy and digital fundraising infrastructure that powers the largest campaigns in the country — without needing a development staff to match.
