Liza Carballeira, CAP, MNM

I've worked in philanthropy from every angle: as a nonprofit fundraiser, as a donor advisor, and as a philanthropist managing my own family's giving. Epic Philanthropy was founded to bridge the gap between generous intentions and lasting impact.

Two Perspectives, One Purpose

Twenty years of leading fundraising inside nonprofits provided deep insight into what makes nonprofit organizations fundable and impactful. This work included securing federal grants, growing development programs, executing large-scale events, and learning how to demonstrate real impact.

A career transition to a major donor-advised fund sponsor opened up the donor perspective. In that role, I worked with high-net-worth donors, processed thousands of grants, and developed expertise in DAF regulations and complex charitable giving.

This dual perspective creates a unique bridge between the language of nonprofits and the needs of donors.

I hold a Master of Nonprofit Management from Regis University and the Chartered Advisor in Philanthropy (CAP®) credential, requiring over 200 hours of specialized training in tax law, estate planning, and philanthropic strategy.
