: About TPI : Starting a Foundation
Starting a Foundation
 After selling his company, a successful businessman decided to dedicate the majority of his wealth to philanthropy, creating a multi-million dollar family foundation.
TPI helped the trustee craft a mission statement, define key focus areas, and develop a governance and staffing plan. After hiring several program officers and other key staff, TPI helped the foundation organize and conduct a series of planning retreats and training sessions for staff and trustees. During the start-up phase, TPI also conducted preliminary research on global environmental issues, human rights issues affecting women and children, and learning disabilities, and helped convene global experts on these issues. Now that this foundation has an experienced staff in place, and sophisticated programmatic strategies that continue to evolve, TPI serves as an ongoing resource.
