Engaged donors, uplifted communities.

Whether you’re a nonprofit striving to strengthen and deepen your impact or a donor looking to ensure your giving aligns with your goals, Buoyant Giving provides tailored support.

Buoyant Giving cultivates uplifting, engaging relationships that align a donor’s giving goals with a nonprofit’s ability to create meaningful change.

Buoyant Giving serves:

Nonprofits

We provide both guidance and hands-on support in developing and implementing strategies that align with your organization’s unique mission and challenges. We add capacity and expertise to empower your organization to focus on delivering and demonstrating impact in service of your beneficiaries.

Donors

It all begins with a conversation about where you are on your philanthropic journey. From there, we help you develop a giving strategy that reflects your unique vision. We handle a lot of the legwork, from nonprofit vetting to impact monitoring, so that you can participate only in the parts that bring you most joy.

Hi! I’m Nadia

Nadia Ammar is the founder of Buoyant Giving, a nonprofit and philanthropy consulting service that cultivates uplifting, engaging relationships that align a donor’s giving goals with a nonprofit’s ability to create meaningful change.

I founded Buoyant Giving because I believe that meaning in life comes from the efforts you make to touch and improve the lives of others. Through my practice, I help donors and nonprofits connect to deeply understand each other’s needs and strengths, making giving more effective, joyful, and meaningful.
