FAMILY OFFICE ADVISORY
Inside the family office, philanthropy deserves the same governance as any other allocation. WAVE serves as counsel on foundation stewardship, next-generation engagement, and the succession of values alongside assets — working in step with the family's existing advisors, not around them.
-
PHILANTHROPIC CONSULT
Giving of consequence is designed, not improvised. WAVE advises families and individuals on strategy, structure, and governance — whether that means a fixed-term strategic advisory or a fully retained partnership — bringing the same rigour to the giving that goes into building the wealth itself.
-
LEGACY & STORYTELLING
A fortune can be inherited in a single signature; the life behind it cannot. WAVE works with families and individuals to preserve a founder's story — authoring biographies, filming documentaries, and building a complete media archive — ensuring the next generation inherits not only what was built, but why.
KIND WORDS

"Keith came in to put structure around my giving — the corporate programs, the estate planning, guiding our advisors through decisions that weren't simple. What I didn't expect was that he'd end up recording the whole thing: the book, the film, the history of what this family built. He asks better questions than anyone I've sat across from. And he's never once made any of it about himself."
— DENNIS O’ROURKE

"Philanthropy wasn't part of my practice when I met Keith. It's now central to it. He built the structure behind our Once in a Blue Moon series — the framework, the partnerships, the right people in the room — then stayed on to run the events and capture the stories that came out of them. We've raised more than $3.7 million. It changed what my clients think wealth management is for."

"Partnering with Keith has been a game-changer for our family foundation. Keith's approach to philanthropic management - setting up our governance structures, aligning our giving strategy with our values, and measuring impact - has transformed how we give. His clarity, creativity, and attention to detail ensure our philanthropic efforts are both meaningful and sustainable."

"Keith helped us build the Price Family Foundation from the ground up — not just the structure, but the purpose behind it. What's meant the most to me is what he's created for our kids: real opportunities to understand their community and learn lessons no classroom could teach them. That's the kind of legacy I wanted for my family, and it's what we got."

HOW WE ADVISE
PRIVATE COUNSEL FOR GIVING OF CONSEQUENCE
Led by Keith Brewster, WAVE advises a small number of families, companies, and offices on strategy, governance, and story — with the same rigour as the rest of the balance sheet. Some of that work happens at a boardroom table; some of it in the field, where their giving lands. Whether you are beginning to give or stewarding a foundation decades old, we advise with clarity, conviction, and consequence.
