How to Volunteer with TPC
Share with us your skills and passions and we’ll find a place for you to help out on a one-time basis or throughout the year!
Like TPC? Tell a friend! Our best recruitment tool is our own members. What can you do?
- Co-host a “Meet TPC” recruitment event at your home or another member’s and invite your friends. TPC organizes the event, sends invitations and post-event follow-up, and offers $250 to cover expenses. Requires a room in which 20-25 women can fit. (We don’t mind standing!)
When? Year round (with fewer events between June and August), typically during the week, between 6:30 pm and 8:30 pm.
Interested? Contact Leslie Levenson at llevenson@thephilanthropyconnection.org
- Tell your friends about TPC, and bring them to our events.
- “Share” or “Like” posts on TPC’s Facebook page. Follow TPC on LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter.
- Forward “The Link” to philanthropically-inclined friends and colleagues.

Grant teams review and evaluate grant applications submitted to TPC. Should you join a team, you’ll get to work with some of the most generous women in Boston, discover the needs in our community, and learn how to evaluate grant proposals.
When and what? Teams meet two to three times from December to April to perform in-depth reviews of grant applications, conduct site visits, and ultimately recommend ballot finalists to be voted on by the entire membership. In September, members will be invited to sign up, and trainings will be made available for all who join a team. Given the cyclical nature of a grants cycle, members must join a team by mid November.
Interested in a leadership role as the team’s Finance Lead, Deputy Captain, or Captain? (The Captain’s role requires one year of TPC grant experience.) Contact Amanda or Tatiana below.
Questions? Contact Grants Committee Co-Chairs Tatiana Joyce and Amanda Klein.
Our members between the ages of 18 and 35 are some of the most talented, philanthropic women you will meet, and they comprise 20% of our membership. No other collective giving group in the country has so many young members. Some of them are interested in having a TPC mentor who will share career and life experiences (and we guarantee that the learning will be mutual!).
- Offer to share your hard-earned wisdom and expertise, and have the pleasure of knowing one of these rising stars. Get together for coffee, lunch, or a drink… or whatever you two decide.

One of the things that sets TPC apart from other grant makers is its volunteer program. Through TPC grantee liaisons, we learn of volunteer opportunities that range from helping pack food that will be distributed to those in need to providing pro bono legal services. Our members have consistently raised their hands to help and along the way have forged a deeper connection with our grantees and fellow members. Current opportunities offer many ways for you to get involved.

When: Leading up to our event in May
Where: Virtually
Needs: We’re assembling a team of TPC members to coordinate this exciting event. We have a range of volunteer opportunities depending on your interests and availability! We’ll need planners to help with food coordination, speaker engagement (grantees), event promotion, and name tags. Maybe you’d rather help during the evening with check-in, greeting/connecting guests, or membership renewals?
Contact Leslie Levenson by March 31st if you’d like to join the team and meet fellow TPC members.
