Dietel Pickering & Partners
Overview
Dietel Pickering & Partners (DPP) is a shared family philanthropic office working with individuals and multigenerational family philanthropies. Persimmon provides additional capacity to DPP as needed.
As an example of grants portfolio support — in the Fall 2024 grantmaking season, Persimmon was brought on to review grant applications and materials, produce applicant review summaries, and support the DPP team as needed throughout the review process for a client focused on education and environmental justice.
As an example of tailored philanthropic strategy design, since November 2024, Persimmon has supported DPP in ongoing reflection, visioning, and planning to support a donor’s next iteration of their giving and aligned investing. Deliverables include an observations and assumptions document, historic grant analysis, a series of in-person meetings, and a summary of recommendations that tie together values, vision, program areas, and more.
