About Us

Three Pillars Initiative is a national 501(c)3 philanthropic service organization.

Our mission is to work with communities to develop and launch programs that teach the art, science and business of philanthropy to the next generation by providing hands-on experiences in fundraising, grantmaking and community service.

Our vision is that communities across the country are providing youth philanthropy leadership opportunities that inspire teens to change the human condition during their lifetime.

National Expansion Campaign

Having achieved its first beta phase milestone, TPI is embarking on a $250,000 Expansion Campaign for growth in its second phase. This campaign will infuse resources into the national office for critical infrastructure needed to launch new programs and improve existing affiliate programs. Our goal is to have 40 Affiliate Programs across the US by 2030 operating at the highest Lilly Family School of Philanthropy impact standards.
