Counsel From Both Sides of the Table.
The rare advisor who has led capital campaigns as a fundraiser — and steered where that capital goes as a foundation executive.
Real Relationship. Profitable Partnership. Sustainable Stewardship.
The difference between a good decision and the right one is the counsel behind it.
Most advisors come from one side of the table. Chris Stewart has sat at both. As a fundraiser, he led campaigns that shattered institutional records. As a foundation executive, he helped decide which organizations earned investment — and why. That dual vantage point is rare. And it changes everything about the counsel SPG provides.
SPG works with a select number of clients at any given time — by design. Every engagement receives the full depth of Chris's attention, relationships, and experience. This is not a consulting firm. It is a partnership.

"Chris and I have been colleagues and friends for twelve years including the last five at the Verstandig Family Foundation. He is simply great at bringing the right people together and making things happen. He builds real, trust-based relationships instead of just chasing quick deals, and he has an uncanny knack for finding opportunities where others only see dead ends. Bottom line: Chris is the kind of guy you want in your corner if you want to grow your organization and get big things done."
President, Verstandig Family Foundation
"Chris is a most extraordinary executive leader. I know, because as a former Head of School with 50 years experience in education, I've worked with many good professionals. Chris surpasses good. He is exceptional! He not only has great professional skills — bright, experienced, innovative, and productive — but, moreover, he is a fine human being: caring, considerate, respectful, positive, dedicated and loyal. It is a pleasure to know and have worked with him."
Former Head of School, The Langley School, McLean, VA
