Your boutique
impact office.
For foundations, families, & purpose-driven investors.
The Practice
Every foundation, every fund, every trust has an origin story.
Someone's conviction that their resources could mean something beyond themselves. And now, that story is in your hands.
Whether through grants or investments, that story carries with it tremendous responsibility—and transformative possibility.
Quoin is a boutique impact practice that partners with foundations, families, and purpose-driven people who want to honor that responsibility, and realize that possibility.
About The Principal
Pedro H. da Silva built a career inside the institutions Quoin serves: nonprofits, philanthropic foundations, outsourced chief investment offices, and global advisory firms. He has designed impact investment portfolios, directed philanthropic initiatives, published environmental research, built editorial platforms, and served on several boards—spanning institutions managing a collective nearly $15 billion in purpose-driven capital. He left to build what was missing.
Client Spotlight
A Community Foundation managing $300M in endowed, programmatic, and donor-advised assets engaged Quoin to design its impact methodology, apply it to its grantmaking portfolio, and produce its inaugural impact report. Now in its second year, the work is being referred across the sector.
Discover What Your Capital Can Do
Quoin works with clients who are public and private about their work, including community foundations, family foundations, next-generation wealth holders, wealth advisors, and fund managers. You can learn more, and start a conversation, below.
Bespoke impact infrastructure, without building the team
For foundations, families, and funds that do not have dedicated impact or programmatic staff, Quoin is a full-service outsourced impact office.
Quoin develops strategy, conducts impact due diligence, provides ongoing assessment, and designs and produces your reporting and narratives.
Impact Assessment & Management
Portfolio-level visibility into what your capital — philanthropic, invested, or in-between — truly delivers.
Whether building from scratch or refining what exists, Quoin’s insights evolve with your portfolio, building with each cycle and giving leadership the confidence to speak precisely about what their capital does and why it matters.
Strategic advisory
Where your capital should go, who's worth funding, and how to structure your approach.
Through moments of transition, inflection, and steady state, Quoin is a long-term partner for navigating what your capital can do.
Public Narrative & Communications
The story you need to tell — to the right people, in the right register, at the right moment. Quoin translates your impact into the narratives you need for your family, your board, your donors, your LPs, or your community.
And when you’re ready, Quoin gets you in the room and in the conversation — the conferences, stages, and publications where your presence matters.
