About Us

The Etolia Fund was established in 2022 with the goal of championing emerging leadership in a way that models and exemplifies the principles of trust-based philanthropy. All our recommended grants are unrestricted/general operating grants that do not need to be tied to particular projects or programmatic work. We are committed to using our resources to support causes that align with our values in a way that reduces grantee overhead and obligations and allows them to instead focus on doing their critical work. 

Funded through the profits of KMSG, The Etolia Fund is committed to investing in movements and organizations that might not yet have widespread recognition. Instead of supporting large organizations already primarily backed by major donors, Etolia believes in supporting emerging leaders, organizations, and institutions who are making a profound (and outsized) impact in their local, state, and regional communities.

To date, we’ve donated more than $115,000 to nonprofit organizations.

Our fund advisory team is made up of dedicated individuals who are passionate about making a difference. We work with a range of partners to achieve our mission, including management consultants, non-profit executives, philanthropic advisors and grant-makers, community organization leaders, and socially responsible businesses. 

We are constantly seeking out new opportunities to make a positive impact and welcome the opportunity to work with like-minded individuals and organizations.
