Jonathan Scoonover loves helping people connect their resources to their passions to make a real impact.  He has more than two decades of experience in the philanthropic and nonprofit sectors, and a strong track record of evaluating the health and strength of nonprofits and establishing mechanisms to maximize giving.

Jonathan began his personal philanthropy journey as a newlywed, when he and his wife received some fantastic advice about experiencing the joy of giving.  Soon after, he helped establish Equitas, a philanthropic granting arm of a local private family foundation, and experienced first-hand the scaled impact of strategic giving, both locally and internationally.

Jonathan went on to serve as the executive director of innovation and interim president for Great Schools Partnership (now Knox Education Foundation).  He is also co-founder and former president of the Community Coalition Against Human Trafficking which works with multiple nonprofits and survivors who are fighting trafficking in East Tennessee.

He has been awarded Knoxville’s 40 under 40, is a graduate of the Consortium for Social Enterprise Effectiveness (CSEE), and is a member of the Leadership Knoxville Class of 2023.

Jonathan is a proud native of Knoxville, TN, where he lives with his wife, Beth, and daughter, Caroline.  He holds a master’s degree in Public Health (MPH) degree and a bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, both from the University of Tennessee.   He enjoys reading, running through the hills of TN, cheering at One Knox SC matches, and traveling with family and friends.

Mar Brettmann loves helping people and organizations find joy and meaning by investing in causes that matter to them.

Prior to serving as a philanthropic advisor, Mar founded and served as the Executive Director & CEO of Businesses Ending Slavery and Trafficking (BEST), a nonprofit that equipped employers to prevent human trafficking.  Over 13 years, Mar built BEST from a nascent idea into a thriving nonprofit that educated over 150,000 employees in all 50 states and 75 countries.  Through her tenure at BEST, Mar gained first-hand knowledge of what makes nonprofits effective, and the meaningful relationships that both philanthropists and nonprofits gain when they partner for a cause.

Mar’s personal passion for generosity is rooted in her family legacy – from her great grandfather who, as a grocery store-owner during the great depression, gave food to his neighbors in need; to her grandparents who helped Jewish refugees settle in their small SC town during WWII. Mar feels honored to continue this legacy.

Mar earned a PhD at the University of St Andrews in Scotland, focusing her thesis on human rights.  She also earned a master’s degree from Regent College in Vancouver, Canada, and a BA in Business/Economics from Wheaton College.  She is author of the book, Theories of Justice, and articles on human rights issues.  Through her education, research, and teaching, she lived in five countries, where she gained a deep appreciation for diverse cultures and people.

Mar lives with her husband and two boys in Mercer Island, Washington, where she has a deep affinity for the trees of the Pacific Northwest and the forest just beyond her doorstep.  Mar enjoys hosting family and friends over meals, gardening, hiking, traveling, and surfing.
