"How bold do we want to be? How innovative, inspiring, expansive? If we're honest about the scale of the problems, the way philanthropy is practiced today isn't going to cut it. Government alone can't do it. If we're not broadly leveraging all the tools in the toolkit, we don't have a chance." TPW Board member Lauren Booker Allen inspires us to maximize social impact.

Congratulations to nurse-midwife, hospital founder

Congratulations to nurse-midwife, hospital founder, and healthcare advocate Edna Adan Ismail, who has won the $1.4M 2023 @templetonprize! Edna has worked courageously to change cultural, religious, and medical norms surrounding women’s health in East Africa – improving the lives of thousands of women and girls in the region and beyond.

Rooted in her faith, she receives this year’s award in recognition of her extraordinary efforts to harness the power of the sciences to affirm the dignity of women and help them to flourish physically and spiritually. Established by the late global investor and philanthropist Sir John Templeton, this is one of the world's largest annual individual awards given to honor those who turn to science to explore the deepest questions of our time and humankind’s place and purpose within it. This year’s award is believed to be the largest international prize ever given to an individual African woman.

One key takeaway for members on TPW’s recent Ott

One key takeaway for members on TPW’s recent Ottawa Immersion Journey? Understanding why advocacy is critical to systems change and how to make it part of a philanthropic toolkit.

"We didn't want to admit that we didn't even know what advocacy means. Now we do and we're not afraid to use it,” said TPW US board member Lauren Cramer after our Journey, where the conversations demystified advocacy and helped funders better understand their own voices as effective tools for policy change.

TPW Global Summit Speaker Rhodri Davies’ new boo

TPW Global Summit Speaker Rhodri Davies’ new book, “What Is Philanthropy For?,” defines philanthropy “not as a stand-alone concept but rather as a major force that shapes our social values and political and economic systems.” @phil_journal recommends it for new philanthropists in particular.

How can funders support systemic change through policy and advocacy? TPW’s Advocacy Journey to Washington, DC this September explores the role advocacy can play in a funder’s toolkit to strengthen democracy locally and globally. Space is limited—register using the link in our bio.

During our Ottawa Immersion Journey session “Fun

During our Ottawa Immersion Journey session “Funding Global Advocacy: Food Systems as a Case Study,” we explored how to take a social justice approach when funding advocacy across the world.

Executive Director of @seedchange_ Leticia Ama Deawuo shared, “You cannot address food issues with food. You have to address issues of inequality.” Kate Higgins, CEO of Cooperation Canada, commented later on the power of supporting advocacy when finding common ground and pushing an agenda forward, made the point, “This has proven to be successful—and philanthropy can support this.”

TPW’s Ottawa Immersion Journey this week was a success! Our Day 1 focus was on public policy and lobbying in Canada, and included discussions with the @wabano_centre and @minwaashin2022, @equalityfund, @endvawnetwork, @fdnblkcomm, and @gacanada.amcanada. We covered a range of topics, including how greater advocacy and influencing policy can help communities thrive; the Canadian National Action Plan on gender based violence; the importance of grassroots work; and how our interconnectedness as we work to solve compounding crises means that the domestic is global.

Stay tuned for more updates, learnings, and takeaways from this Journey!

Congratulations to TPW member Maida Lynn who executive produced @thetubathieves, a new film that will be screened at the 2023 @SFFILM! Maida founded Facet, a philanthropic fund that supports creatively ambitious documentary filmmaking, and is passionate about leveraging philanthropy to support a thriving independent non-fiction film industry and ecosystem.

Netting a 100% Fresh @rottentomatoes rating, “The Tuba Thieves” captures life on roads, seas, mountains, forests, and skies, and features visceral sound design—including sequences of complete silence—in a blend of documentary, narrative, and essay populated by a largely deaf cast. Tickets for the April 15 and 16 Bay Area screenings are available via the link in @sffilm’s bio.

“We need to challenge philanthropic organization
