Our Mission Statement
We focus on helping you protect your financial well-being and the stability and success of your organization so you can focus on your mission, the community you serve and those you care about most.
THE CONNECTION BETWEEN MOUNTAIN CLIMBING AND INVESTMENT CONSULTING
At the Seven Summits Group, we strive to be the preferred investment team in Northern California for nonprofits and foundations, as well as for individual investors.
Our group’s name pays homage to the quest to summit the highest mountain peak found on each of the seven continents. Experienced alpinists such as Kevin Sánchez who’ve conquered many of these mountains understand that safely and passionately navigating the journey from the very first steps out of basecamp is just as important as tackling the last challenge—standing on the final summit.
That’s the approach we take as we consult with boards of nonprofits, foundations and endowments about structuring their investment policy statements (IPS), investing their multiple investment pools, and pursuing their goals of giving back to their local communities. We help manage your risk every step along the journey to YOUR summit.
We’ve worked with these groups for 30 years because it’s our passion. Helping those who support communities and other praiseworthy causes brings us fulfillment that continues to inspire and energize us. It’s that special joy that comes from contributing to the greater good of society.
We apply the same risk management approach when advising individual investors on their personal journey—many of whom discovered our group through their involvement with nonprofits. Our team has the depth of knowledge and experience necessary to provide comprehensive wealth management for every stage of your life—backed by the world-class resources available through Morgan Stanley.
Whether you’re an individual or a nonprofit, choosing the right financial advisory firm and team are important decisions. We invite you to explore what the Seven Summits Group has to offer, and welcome the opportunity to have a meaningful conversation with you.

THE SEVEN SUMMITS GROUP DIFFERENCE
While our wealth management practices for nonprofits and individual clients are deeply grounded in sound, well-established principles, our group is different than most.
It begins with our heritage. We have embraced nonprofits from our inception, which has allowed us to accumulate three decades of experience understanding the nuanced needs and challenges impacting this vibrant, important sector. As a result, we're able to offer strategic guidance about critical issues that extend far beyond managing your investments. Please see our Working with Nonprofits tab to learn more.
And then there's how we operate as a group. We're truly a team of individuals with complementary skills and backgrounds who value the following traits:
Empowerment: Encouraging team members to take initiative and make decisions
Open-mindedness: Fostering an environment where progressive ideas and challenges to the status quo are welcome
Collaboration: Ensuring every team member has a voice and that we work together
Why should this matter to you? Because successful wealth management is more than just working with numbers. It's about taking care of others. And by applying these beliefs, we feel we provide the best service possible for every client.
WORKING WITH INDIVIDUALS
When climbing the world's tallest mountains, it's essential to have a well-constructed route plan that considers the obstacles you might encounter, and limits the potential danger you'll face on your expedition.
It's the same way with your financial journey. You need a plan designed to guide you to your destination while minimizing the risks along your path.
Our Process
In our leadership role as your Financial Advisor, we'll develop your overall strategy using a holistic wealth management approach that includes financial, investment, liability, insurance, cash-flow and estate planning. Every aspect will be customized so it aligns with your aspirations and preferences, while addressing your concerns and helping control your risks.
Being affluent offers many advantages. But it frequently adds complexity to your financial world. We feel it's our responsibility to unravel the components of investing and finance to simplify matters for you. By doing so, we hope to free you to focus instead on whatever brings you the most fulfillment.
Ongoing Support for Every Stage of Life
You might think once we've implemented your plan that our work is finished. Actually, it's just beginning.
We'll continue to monitor your plan's progress, and have consistent communications with you. Just like when ascending a mountain, some adjustments may be necessary to safely stay on course as you seek to grow, preserve or distribute your wealth.
Since our team embraces a collaborative approach, we're happy to consult with your other trusted advisors—such as a CPA or estate attorney—to better ensure all aspects of your finances are working in harmony for you.
Above all, we understand this is YOUR personal journey. We look forward to supporting you along the way.
Our Designations
Financial designations are confusing. So, we thought we'd briefly explain the designations held by our group—and perhaps enable you to see how working with a financial professional with a specific designation could be advantageous.
CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER®: A CFP® professional meets rigorous certification requirements, demonstrates a competency in comprehensive financial planning and commits to placing their clients' best interests first at all times. Also, a CFP® professional is trained at bringing clarity to a client's entire financial picture while balancing their short-term goals with their long-term objective of retirement security.
Certified Private Wealth Advisor®: The CPWA® certification is an advanced professional credential for advisors who serve high-net-worth clients. Working with a CPWA® can be ideal for prosperous individuals and families who need support addressing the multi-dimensional challenges of managing significant wealth.
Certified Investment Management Analyst®: A CIMA® is a professional certification for financial advisors and investment consultants in advanced portfolio construction. The program requires completing a sophisticated investment curriculum to help meet the real-world needs of individual and institutional investors.
Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards, Inc. (CFP Board) owns the certification marks CFP®, CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™, and CFP® (with plaque design) in the United States, which it authorizes use of by individuals who successfully complete CFP Board's initial and ongoing certification requirements.
WORKING WITH NONPROFITS
At the Seven Summits Group, our first priority is to help make your organization more successful.
Successful not only in terms of managing your investment portfolio, but by addressing many of the additional areas of focus we know are important to your organization. We find that many of our nonprofit clients have common questions and concerns, including:
- Are we raising enough money to annually cover the programming we do for the community?
- Will we be able to annuitize a revenue stream that allows us to focus on programming instead of spending so much time on fundraising?
- How can we find board members that are a good fit, so we'll have strong leadership?
- How can we ensure as much money as possible from what we raise goes into our programming?
- What's the best way to actively manage the contributions from large donors?
- How should we handle non-traditional donations (such as property)?
The Seven Summits Group Solution
Our team speaks fluent nonprofit, and has 30 years of peer-sharing experience to support you with a variety of initiatives, such as:
- Developing and growing a strong investment committee
- Creating and revising a well-structured IPS
- Aligning your investments with your unique impact goals and values
- Engaging with major donors for more meaningful gifting conversations
We'll collaborate with you to help grow your financial and social capital, as well as promote better use of your assets. Through Morgan Stanley, we can also assist with streamlining your investment manager and program costs without compromising your performance potential.
If you wish to align your portfolios more closely with your values using impact investing, we'll build client programs that seek to generate competitive returns while staying true to your mission-related objectives. (1)
Additional Services:
Endowment Management
We can help grow and protect your endowment with a more holistic management approach than traditional investment consulting offers.
It's an approach that extends beyond investments to help manage your risk. By doing so, we hope to give you more time to focus on what matters most to you. We'll look to create strong risk-adjusted returns while still adhering to your objectives, risk tolerance and social impact parameters.
Additionally, we'll help you better understand the potential strategic challenges and opportunities your organization faces—and how to better position it for success. Through Morgan Stanley, we have the experience and resources through to implement each element of your strategy to support your ongoing mission. (2)
Philanthropy Management
We believe your philanthropic capital should be managed as thoughtfully as your financial capital.
Morgan Stanley Philanthropy Management supports nonprofits and foundations by helping ensure the growth and development of their charitable missions. This includes assisting with crafting or redefining your missions and broader strategy; improving governance; aiding with the hiring and training of staff; identifying high-impact board members; engaging volunteers; and fostering connections to like-minded individuals and organizations. By doing so, we can help maximize your effectiveness. (3)

About Me
The focus area of Kevin’s practice since 1994 is strategizing with boards of non-profit organizations, foundations, and endowments in the creation of prudent investment policies, portfolio design and implementation. He is also experienced in a broad range of comprehensive wealth management strategies for affluent families, including development of multigenerational wealth strategies, coordinating effort across clients outside tax and legal advisors, and comprehensive portfolio performance monitoring.
Highly responsive to client needs, Kevin ‘s detailed approach helps cultivate exceptional, long-lasting relationships. He built his practice upon the shared vision of excellence, critical thinking, and discipline.
Kevin earned his M.B.A. in Finance with honors from the University of Oregon’s Lundquist School of Business. He holds a B.S. from the University of Oregon, graduating cum laude with a triple major in Finance, Management and Marketing. He earned the Certified Investment Management Analyst (CIMA) and the Certified Private Wealth Advisor (CPWA) designations under the joint auspices of the Wharton School of Business, Chicago Booth School of Business and the Investments and Wealth Institute (IWI).
In My Own Words
In life, it’s crucial to find your passion.
Something meaningful that speaks to you.
Leave a legacy…
For me, that means serving as a trusted advisor to nonprofit organizations and climbing the tallest mountains worldwide. I’ve taken on the challenge of conquering the Seven Summits, the highest peak on each continent. To date, I’ve climbed five, and my goal is to reach my final summit, Mt. Everest, by 2026.
Both my profession and my mountaineering pursuits share a common thread: setting ambitious goals and meticulously preparing to achieve them. In both realms, I focus on mitigating risks and planning for every possible scenario. This approach is crucial in both investing and mountain climbing, where success depends on addressing potential pitfalls upfront.
For me, this isn’t just a job—it’s my calling. It’s about the deep connections I form with my relationships. I love being the person they trust to help their organizations achieve their philanthropic dreams. There’s immense satisfaction in seeing the positive impact that nonprofits have on their communities. Attending their events and witnessing their passion for making a difference brings me great joy.
Using my experience in investment management to support nonprofits in their mission to enhance their communities is my greatest reward. It’s incredibly fulfilling to know that my work contributes to their success and the betterment of society.

About Beverly Anderson
Beverly is the Marketing and Communications Director for the Seven Summits Group. With over 30 years of experience in marketing communications for both profit and nonprofit entities, Beverly plays a vital role in enhancing all aspects of our clients' experience, as well as supporting the team’s growth and overall business development goals
She has been with Morgan Stanley since 2023. She earned an M.S. degree in Strategic Communications from the University of Oregon’s School of Journalism. Beverly also earned a B.S. degree in Management and Marketing from the University of Oregon’s Lindquist School of Business.
Beverly currently resides in Walnut Creek, CA, and enjoys photography, spending time with her adorable kitty children, Sophia and Audrey, and giving back to the community. In addition, she derives immense joy from supporting children in Kenya through Compassion International. Beverly has been helping children and families living in poverty through Compassion’s holistic childcare program for over 18 years.
In her own words
What I love about my job is creating avenues to help nonprofits and individuals form deep connections with our team. It’s important to me that they see our team as people they can trust and who want to help them achieve their dreams.
I’ve worked with many nonprofits over the years and love seeing the difference they make in the communities they serve. Using my experience in communications, marketing and photography has enabled me to help organizations such as the Bay Area Red Cross, Stanford Hospital, Diablo Regional Arts Association and various organizations that help women.
My work with the Red Cross took me on my most memorable journey – to Kenya. I was blessed with the opportunity to document the Red Cross' humanitarian mission to Kenya where we visited families living with HIV/AIDS in their homes and in orphanages. It was here that I learned that money does not buy happiness. Even though these people had little, they were happy because they had love and they had community.
Working with nonprofits fills me with hope and joy and I have found the same to be true for everyone on our team. That’s what brings us to work each day. It’s not about the money. It’s about the connections we feel with our clients, and about sharing in their passion and the positive impact they have on their communities.
