• 25 client families: providing guidance and focus for their giving and/or legacy plan advisor and family office referrals throughout Houston and the United States through correspondence, teleconference, family conferences and family/advisor meetings reaching 725 individual donors annually
   
• Nonprofit leader and donor surveys and interviews with over 50 Houston leaders
   
• Development of Resourceful Women Houston, a program for women with wealth in the Houston area aimed at making their giving more strategic
