💜 Bring a Friend to the Grant Awards!

One of the things that makes TPC special is the people who make up our community.

Our members come from different backgrounds, professions, and experiences, but share a common belief: we can accomplish more when we work together.

Many members first discovered TPC through the Grant Awards Celebration. That's why we're inviting you to bring someone along this year.

A colleague. A friend. A fellow volunteer. Someone who's passionate about making a difference.

Join us as we celebrate this year's grantees and the power of collective giving in action.

📅 June 9 | 6:00–9:00 PM
📍 The Row Hotel at Assembly Row

🌱 Spring at TPC

This season, our members gathered to learn, connect, and take action alongside our community.

From exploring what meaningful nonprofit board service looks like to volunteering with Boston Food Forest Coalition, these experiences reminded us that philanthropy happens in many forms.

Sometimes it's learning from experienced leaders.
Sometimes it's rolling up your sleeves alongside community partners.
Often, it's simply showing up and building relationships.

Thank you to everyone who joined us this spring. We can't wait to continue learning and growing together.

❓What types of TPC events would you like to see more of: learning events, volunteer opportunities, or community conversations?
