The Philanthropy Workshop Cohort 18 Module 3 - New York

Module III of TPW continues to build on the leadership and strategic grant-making skills of Cohort 18: focusing on questions of advocacy, coalition-building and collaboration, it explores the role of philanthropy in public policy and civic life.  Skills-building sessions include advanced due diligence, evaluation and supporting leadership. As the culmination of the workshop, participants present and defend a proposal that they are planning to fund or a broader funding strategy that they intend to implement. This exercise allows participants to hone their grant-making and anchor their philanthropy in a strategic framework while receiving feedback and thoughtful analysis from their fellow participants.
