Strengthening People & Catalyzing Change Through TPF Tuition/Fees Reimbursement Program

In this Beyond The Blog conversation, Kiarra Louis invites Josephine Eisenberg, Alicia Exantus, and Stacy Sternberg — three committed, brilliant, and studious women — to share their experience in leveraging The Patterson Foundation's Tuition/Fees Reimbursement Program in collaboration with Indiana University Indianapolis Lilly Family School of Philanthropy (LFSOP) through its Advancing Philanthropic Leadership initiative.Recognizing the value of academic and professional educational experiences offered by LFSOP, since 2022, TPF has provided opportunities for TPF staff and consultants to enroll in LFSOP graduate and professional development courses and be reimbursed. Note: For TPF staff and consultants interested in or wondering if they should participate in TPF's Tuition/Fees Reimbursement Program, this podcast is worth a listen, as it demonstrates the value of academic and professional educational experiences in one's personal and professional life. Timestamps2:35 - Exploring The Why6:44 - The Fellows Program8:05 - A Demonstration of TPF's Approach: 8:25 - Connecting11:47 - Study abroad 13:10 - Welfare States 14:56 - Postcode Lottery Group 16:04 - The Giving Challenge16:40 - Not arriving with the answer  17:07: Leadership, willingness, readiness, capacity, and culture17:56 - Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer,20:25   - Learning 23:10 - Fueling Dynamic Fundraising28:36 -  The Barnes Foundation38:26 - Women in Philanthropy39:56  - Sharing 42:56 - Inspiring Philanthropy44:35 -  The Patterson Foundation Innovative and Collaborative Approach to Philanthropy45:25: The New Civic Path Book Circles46:52 - Evolving  & Strengthening 47:15 - Bridging Art with Philanthropy50:00 - Developing Confidence51:09 - Learning to Love the Work AgainLinks to Learn More Advancing Philanthropic LeadershipTPF Tuition Reimbursement ProgramDiving into Nonprofit Law - The Patterson Foundation by Josephine EisenbergEmbracing New Adventures: My Journey Back to Grad School - The Patterson Foundation by Alicia ExantusMy Evolution at The Patterson Foundation by Stacy SternbergWant to hear more?
