Agency helps givers find causes to match passions - The Boston Globe

Agency helps givers find causes to match passions - The Boston Globe: "Many philanthropists want to give their money away anonymously. They also want to ensure the money gets to the right cause, but may not want to take the time to make sure their money is used wisely.


Even if they want to remain unnamed, many philanthropists still want to ensure that their money is used well by the right cause.

That's where Peter Karoff, a poet and founder of The Philanthropic Initiative, Inc., comes in. Among other things, the 17-year-old Boston nonprofit helps anonymous donors find the right causes. Every spring, TPI gives grants of $30,000 to six individuals who work in community service in Greater Boston. The money, given without strings attached, comes from anonymous donors who contacted TPI."
