Structured for alignment

At Philanthrope, structure is not a formality. It is how we align interests, decisions and outcomes around long-term value. As a cooperative, our model is designed to embed integrity into every part of our work.

Fees tied to outcomes

Our fee model is designed to mirror the long-term success of our clients’ appointments. A significant portion is deferred until a new leader completes six months in post. This ensures alignment with integration, impact and sustainability, not urgency or turnover.

Profit shared with purpose

Our profit-sharing model distributes value between clients, consultants and partners. There are no volume targets or sales bonuses. We grow by serving well, not by scaling fast. This approach rewards judgement, stewardship and alignment over time.

Governance with intent

We operate within a written constitution that embeds transparency, democratic control and shared accountability at every level. This structure elevates decision making, safeguards collective purpose and builds confidence with clients and candidates alike.

Consultants without conflict

Our members are seasoned advisers who choose to work with organisations whose values they share. Each consultant is driven by alignment and impact. We prioritise service over sales and long-term thinking over short-term wins.
