Description

The Patterson Foundation's (TPF)  approach to philanthropy goes beyond traditional geographic boundaries, tapping into expansive networks and movements that work toward shared aspirations.

Exemplifying TPF's collaborative approach to philanthropy, a report titled Proven Practices: Applying National Practices Locally was developed to identify and examine ten instances where TPF worked with national organizations to catalyze efforts toward shared aspirations locally while enhancing national efforts. As a follow-up to the report, and to dive deeper into how TPF undertakes its philanthropic work in ways others are not doing, cannot do, or will not do, Kiarra Louis had a conversation with Debra Jacobs, President and CEO of The Patterson Foundation.
