Let’s get clear on what you want to accomplish with your philanthropy.

Effective philanthropy begins with clarity of purpose. Strategic giving is about more than just writing a check – it’s about aligning your giving with your values, passions, and the change you want to see in the world. It means taking the time to define a clear vision, set meaningful goals, and design thoughtful, informed strategies. Whether you’re just beginning your philanthropic journey or looking to increase your impact, a strong plan provides the foundation for lasting change.

HOW WE CAN HELP

  • Explore, clarify, and articulate motivations, interests, values, mission, and goals
  • Align values and goals with philanthropic resources and opportunities
  • Design, revisit, or rethink philanthropic strategies rooted in research and knowledge
  • Create structures and other components needed for effective implementation of strategies
  • Prepare to ramp up efforts in size or impact
  • Facilitate strategic planning processes, including planning sessions, meetings, TPI Idea Labs, and/or retreats, that effectively engage key stakeholders
  • Reflect on lessons learned and reassess for future giving

“This family had never been involved with philanthropic activity at this level, and suddenly overnight had the responsibility to handle a big grantmaking budget every year. They didn’t know how. TPI helps make the administration of the foundation so much more meaningful than if the family were administering it on their own.”
