For more than two decades, Jennifer Lavey has advised nonprofit organizations, philanthropists, business leaders, and family foundations on some of their most important fundraising and philanthropic initiatives. She has helped clients raise hundreds of millions of dollars while guiding organizations through capital campaigns, endowment initiatives, major gift strategies, and periods of transformational growth.

Jennifer believes philanthropy is most powerful when it is rooted in purpose, thoughtful leadership, and authentic relationships. She is particularly passionate about advancing the arts, preserving history, expanding educational opportunity, and improving the lives of vulnerable populations, including isolated seniors.

In recent years, Jennifer has expanded her practice to advise founder-led and privately held companies on corporate philanthropy and social impact. She helps businesses build meaningful nonprofit partnerships, develop intentional community investment strategies, and create programs that reflect their values while strengthening the communities they serve.

Known for her collaborative style and practical approach, Jennifer is often brought in when organizations need an experienced advisor to help navigate complexity, build consensus, and move important initiatives forward.

Originally from the Washington, D.C. area, Jennifer and her husband divide their time between Los Angeles and the Coachella Valley. She currently serves on the Board of the Palm Springs International Film Festival and is deeply committed to advancing the arts, preserving history, and strengthening communities through philanthropy.
