Giving Compass' Take:

• The Philanthropy Workshop designed a roadmap to help philanthropists tackle every step of their strategic planning in charitable giving. 

• How are you implementing a strategic approach in philanthropy? What are the first steps? 

• Read why donors shouldn't shy away from strategic philanthropy.


The Philanthropy Workshop’s core program is the known as the TPW Intensive Program. Based on two decades of experience, TPW guides you through every step of strategy formulation, from defining the problem that you want to tackle all the way to evaluating the impact of your grants and/or investments. In a cohort of up to 14 participants, the program consists of three one-week modules over the course of a year.

We offer a number of tools to help in your philanthropy, including our renowned Strategic Roadmap for Philanthropy.

We seek to help philanthropists to understand the stages and considerations involved in a strategic approach to philanthropy and how to follow a “roadmap” to give better. We seek to help our members to appreciate the ecosystem within which philanthropy operates and the levers of social change – political, social, and economic forces – and understand how philanthropists can push these levers to help make a positive difference.

Take a look at the roadmap and use it to take you through our own issue area.
