Gioia Perugini

Gioia directs the Hemenway & Barnes philanthropic advisory practice, and works with individuals, families, advisors, charitable trusts, and foundations to provide a range of philanthropic advisory and family office services. Her clients rely on her to design and implement charitable giving strategies, research particular charities, negotiate gifts of cash or tangible assets, coordinate family meetings, and design legacy giving programs. Gioia’s practice also specializes in engaging multiple generations in family philanthropy. She is a frequent speaker, writer, and panelist, on issues relevant to philanthropy and the nonprofit sector. She is active in her local community and in organizations and philanthropic networks across New England. In addition to serving on the MPC Board, she is President of the Board of the Brookline Community Foundation and Vice Chair of the Board of Positive Tracks, a public charity that helps young people make change through charitable athletic activity. When not working in philanthropy and volunteering, she can be found hiking, biking, or going on various adventures with her young adult children.
