Expand Your Impact, Amplify Your Benefits
How it works
Step 1: Send an introduction to a qualified referral via email. (See “How to Refer” below)
Qualifications: Kris Putnam-Walkerly’s ideal clients are ultra-high net-worth donors and CEOs of grantmaking foundations, corporate giving programs, and philanthropic family offices. They want to increase the clarity, impact, and joy of their philanthropy, and recognize they could benefit from expert help and guidance.
Step 2: Receive a referral incentive
Should the person become a paying client, Kris will issue a referral incentive in one of the following forms, according to your preference.
- Option A: A cash bonus, paid to you personally via check, Paypal, or Venmo
- Option B: A donation paid directly to your non-profit of choice
- Option C: A 2-Hour Complimentary Consulting Intensive with Kris
Bonus and donation amounts will be equal to 5% of the contracted consulting fee up to $10,000, paid within 90 days of receipt.
All referral incentives are optional, as some prefer not to receive incentives.
Step 3: Receive + Enjoy!
If you choose to receive any of the options above, Kris will reach out to confirm your choice and notify you when the chosen incentive has been distributed. If you choose a complimentary consulting intensive, arrangements will be made to schedule the appointment.
