Steve Jakab is a philanthropy advisor with more than 30 years of leadership experience helping families and mission-driven organizations clarify purpose, align values and translate generosity into lasting impact. Following a long career in healthcare philanthropy, he now leads True North Philanthropy Advisors, where he works with multigenerational families on visioning, governance, and decision-making, and helps donors build strong, trusting partnerships with nonprofits.

His approach combines thoughtful stewardship with practical insight into how institutions function, and a “blended values” perspective in which philanthropy reflects both personal meaning and measurable community benefit.
