About Caliopy

Philanthropy Without Borders was founded by Caliopy Glaros, a strategist and facilitator who has worked around the globe growing impact for nonprofits, foundations, and corporations. Her practice of leading with empathy, centering client needs, and creating innovative solutions to the issues that come with the ever-changing landscape of need and giving have made her a popular consultant, coach, and trainer.

Working at the intersection of philanthropy, organizational development, and intercultural communication, Caliopy has consulted organizations and teams in more than forty countries on five continents. Today she is a recognized expert on the topics of ethical storytelling and donor travel.

Caliopy has an academic background in Anthropology and Adult Learning, and is a certified trainer in Intercultural Communication.

As a Greek citizen who has grown up in the United States and Japan, she speaks three languages and has perpetual difficulty answering the question “Where are you from?”

She and a small team of experts make up the “we” of Philanthropy without Borders. To learn more about her work, check out the articles she authors for this website or get in touch with her directly.
