TPI Client Spotlight

The World We Want was inspired in large part by the philanthropic leaders with whom TPI has had the privilege of working over the last two decades.  Their ambition, creativity and humility, and most importantly, their demonstrated positive results, have been an ongoing source of inspiration to all of us. 

Steve Case
Co-founder of AOL and Trustee of The Case Foundation
"I want to help build a world where roles are more fluid and synergistic, where businesses also have social missions and nonprofits are entrepreneurial, and together they form a single, shining constellation for social change." (Chapter 3, Paradigms of Change)
 
Alan Broadbent
The Maytree Foundation
"I do know what kind of world I want.  It is a society that is as rational and predictable as possible.  You want societies where people have a combination of health, wealth, well-being, educational attainment, security and safety...These are things we owe each other as citizens, things best provided on a public, universally accessible basis." (Chapter 4, The Listening Post)

Melinda Marble
The Paul and Phyllis Fireman Foundation
"What gives me hope and what makes working in philanthropy one of the greatest jobs in the world is the tremendous number of good people out there who are working hard to help others... It seems almost as if they are holding the world together, holding a thousand streamers of light that are keeping the planet on course..." (Chapter 2, Listen to the Voices)
