Kindess is often about random moments. A need exist now...so fill it. Philanthropy is not about the now, but the countless nows to come.
I Knew That.

Will PSI give my organization money? We have an inspiring mission!
Regardless of what you mission is, or how inspiring it may be, PSI is not a foundation. PSI is more like an association. Our primary goals are not to provide resources to other organizations or institutions, but to train them how to create philanthropic partnerships within their communities.
Can PSI give me a list of names or funding sources?
We do not provide possible donor matches for clients. We believe that although someone may be wealthy, and although your cause might be great, that this doesn't necessarily make the best match. We are happy to tell our clients about the type of fundraising partner might want to give, or constituent group that might be interested, PSI cannot give donor names.
