This 6-week course is filled with engaging activities and discussions as we explore philanthropy together.
Are you aware of how you give? This is our starting point for Philanthropy Camp—building awareness of how we already give. From there we’ll uncover your values, enabling you to be more intentional about your giving as you rediscover the joy of giving.
Do you want to make a difference in your community or the world? Do you want to engage your family in giving? Then Philanthropy Camp for Women is for YOU!
What you’ll get:
You’ll also gain:
? – I feel isolated. I don’t know who to talk to about giving.

Start Making a Difference in Your Community… and the World.
First and foremost, you can expect to gain clarity around your giving. Many people come in to this experience feeling frustrated, overwhelmed, and unsure how to be more intentional about their giving. The process we go through during Philanthropy Camp for Women is intended to help you move beyond those feelings toward a better understanding of your values and how you want to give in the world.
For the first six sessions—YES! To get the most out of this course, I highly encourage you to clear your schedule and make your attendance a priority.
Sessions will be recorded and available for a limited time after camp is over.
Sessions will be recorded and available for a limited time following camp. However, to stay on track with the content, it’s best to attend live.
Besides our time together each week, plan to spend another 1-2 hours per week outside of class to do homework between sessions. The more you invest in this work, the more you’ll get from the course.
I will send some materials in advance of the first session via mail. Other materials will be sent via email in advance of each session. I suggest you have paper and pen ready as well for taking notes.
Refunds will be offered up until one week prior to the start of the course. To complete your refund, we require a receipt or proof of purchase. Reimbursement will be made using the same means of payment used for the initial transaction.
Given the format for Fall 2025, if for some reason you have signed up for Camp and the dates/times the cohort chooses don’t work for you, a refund will be issued.
Yes! Philanthropy Camp for Women is offered in the Fall and Spring each year.

Like the idea of Philanthropy Camp? I’m open to offering it for different audiences and in different formats (e.g. weekend retreat, in person), so if you have a ready made group–friends, neighbors, investment pals, dinner club–let’s talk!
Just ask! I’m always happy to jump on a quick call to determine whether or not this course is for you.
That’s a savings of $70 when you register for camp.
