As social needs grow and resources are constrained, the TPW West experience is invaluable. Donors seek to become more effective, and TPW West advances their capacity to achieve maximum impact.
TPW West is an active network of strategic philanthropists with the skills, commitment, and imagination to help solve major social and environmental challenges. The Workshop is well-known for its executive leadership course for individual donors and families seeking to improve communities, countries, and the world. Each year, a carefully chosen group of 15 donors participates in an educational and life-changing experience that informs, inspires, and strengthens their giving.
Participants exchange ideas in a small-group, conversational format with world leaders, issue experts, thought leaders in philanthropy, and social entrepreneurs. They learn experientially through site visits in the US and in the developing world.
They gain entrée to issue experts at established foundations, such as the William and Flora Hewlett, the Bill & Melinda Gates, the Kaiser Family, and the John S. and James L. Knight Foundations. And they are welcomed into a community of more than 100 like-minded peers who have shared the TPW West experience.
