In 2006, The Philanthropy Roundtable launched a new Breakthrough Group to help donors increase the effectiveness and accountability of their giving to America’s colleges and universities.
Principles
We seek to develop a network of donors who believe that the best institutions of higher education:
- Promote civic literacy.
- Encourage a greater understanding of the American political tradition and free enterprise system.
- Encourage good scholarship on the most important philosophical and policy issues of our time.
- Advance the ideals of liberal education.
- Foster excellence in teaching.
- Build an academic culture where creativity, innovation, and the pursuit of truth can flourish.
Services
To achieve our goal of helping donors achieve dramatic breakthroughs in higher education, we:
- Organize and host public conferences for philanthropists across the nation, which highlight excellence in higher education giving and provide opportunities for new and existing donors to exchange ideas and strategies with each other and national experts;
- Organize private, customized seminars for high-net-worth donors to help them determine how they can achieve breakthroughs in improving the effectiveness of their higher education giving; and
- Commission, produce, and disseminate the best publications on highly effective higher education philanthropy.
