Seeding a community
of #changemakers

We use the money we raise to invest in grassroots projects by people who seek to create a more compassionate world. Every day of the year, our network selects a new project that will receive $1,000 in seed funding. As that project blossoms, leaders can access capacity-building support, encouragement, and connectivity with others. Through these efforts, we seed a vibrant community of global changemakers who seek to spread compassion in the world for the benefit of all.

At TPP, we believe in people, so we invest in people.

After achieving his goals at the tech company he ran in the United States, Robin realized that he still wasn’t happy, so in 2011 he left the company in search of fulfillment. It was during this time that he met Lorraine, who was caring for dozens of stray dogs despite her own challenges. After learning about Lorraine’s work, Robin recalls thinking: “She has nothing and she’s still giving, and I have everything and I’m still looking for my happiness. Screw this, I just want purpose.”
