A sophisticated counterpart.
Someone who has placed Democratic capital across ten cycles, who reads the races the way your client reads a P&L, and who will tell them when an ask is a bad one.
Ten cycles. $38M+ placed.
Your clients are being asked about political giving. Scout Lunar handles those conversations with the seriousness they deserve — and never competes with the wealth relationship.
"Where should I be giving this cycle?"
You have three options: guess, refer to a friend in politics, or change the subject. None of the three is what your client hired you for.
"Did my last cycle of giving actually matter?"
Your client does not know. Nobody has told them. The records exist; no one has assembled them into an answer that reads as an answer.
"Can you help me with this?"
If you say yes, you drift into partisanship. If you say no, you introduce a vacuum — and someone else will fill it. Neither serves the relationship.
We answer to the client. We answer to the advisor's relationship with the client. We send nothing without the client's knowledge, and we send nothing to the advisor without the client's explicit permission.
Our work is narrow and deep: Democratic political giving, planned and placed with discipline, reported back cycle over cycle. That is the whole of the practice.
We do not manage assets. We do not take custody of capital. We do not advise on tax, on estate planning, on philanthropy outside the political frame, or on anything that touches the balance sheet you are paid to steward.
The retainer is flat and does not rise in presidential years. Your client's invoice stops being a problem.
Someone who has placed Democratic capital across ten cycles, who reads the races the way your client reads a P&L, and who will tell them when an ask is a bad one.
Your client meets us on their own terms. The relationship with you is protected. Nothing is said in a room your client has not authorized.
The engagement is flat-fee across the cycle. It does not balloon in presidential years. It does not spike during a contested primary. Your client's spend is predictable; your conversation with them is easier.
You write to us, or we write to you. One short call, usually thirty minutes. We describe our practice, you describe the client and the question you are trying to answer. No materials change hands.
With the client's agreement, we take one meeting together or one meeting alone — whichever the client prefers. Your presence is welcomed and never required. The goal is to understand what the client wants their political giving to mean.
If the client engages, the scope and pace are set by them. Some clients want a plan written and executed in one cycle. Others want a multi-cycle practice built deliberately, starting with a small first placement. Both are right.
We report back to the client after every placement and at the end of each cycle. With the client's written permission, we send you a copy of the end-of-cycle report. No permission, no report. This is not our call to make.
We are actively building relationships with family offices and RIAs who serve politically engaged Democratic donors. If you have a client who should meet us, we would like to hear from you.
We will not post a partners list until there is one worth posting — and until each partner has consented to be on it. The absence of logos here is deliberate.
