The new service offers an inspired blend of customized philanthropic advising to help local and national clients leverage their resources to strengthen relationships, bridge generations, and build lasting legacies that make a difference.

Sylvia R. Hampton, president and CEO of Hampton Bates, comments, "Our clients have enormous reach and power, and we want to help them use it for good."

"The ultimate goal is to use a client's wealth to make a real impact on society -- without compromising a hard-won reputation."

Hampton Bates currently advises clients in all areas of philanthropy on a national and international platform, and is actively consulting with several new clients who are exploring the opportunity to create family foundations.
