The goal of this monthly series is for women to come to a welcoming setting where they hear about relevant topics and ask the questions they have never asked. Take charge of your financial life. Be empowered. No question is a bad question and we’ll answer in the simplest way we can. No jargon, we promise.

For our May episode, we were joined by Maggi Alexander from The Philanthropic Initiative, (TPI). TPI is a nonprofit philanthropic advisory firm that pioneered the field of strategic philanthropy advising and works around the globe to help donors achieve lasting social impact. Women are controlling a growing share of our society’s wealth and influencing more and more philanthropy. Learn about how women are changing the face of philanthropy and making a deep impact on critical issues in their communities and around the world. This conversation will help listeners better define the goals for philanthropy, uncover their deepest interests and passions, and begin the process of zeroing in on a focus and structure for their giving that provides both meaning and impact. You will leave with a renewed sense of purpose and practical tools for getting from here to there.
Maggi Alexander is a Partner at TPI and directs TPI’s Center for Global Philanthropy. In this role, she supports individuals and families, foundations, and corporations in aligning their philanthropy with their values in ways that are more strategic. An entrepreneurial leader, Maggi has spent over 30 years focused on philanthropy to improve the quality of life for low-income children, families, and communities in the United States and over 30 countries worldwide.
