Begun in in 2002 by Clemens Pietzner, President/Executive Director: the Triskeles Foundation is dedicated to youth, philanthropic education and donor services, and community building. I met Clemens recently and discussed donor education and philanthropic services for progressive givers. The Triskeles Foundation encourages individuals to participate who:
- Have interest in various progressive causes but don’t know which organizations might meet their expectations.
- Wish to support certain organizations but need the Triskeles Foundation to provide due diligence on these groups prior to funding
- Want to learn more about certain organizations or initiatives
- Desire to meet other people with similar philanthropic interests and goals
- Want to be sure that the assets set aside for gifting are protected for that purpose
Compare Triskeles's philanthropic services, then, with a local community foundation which may not have an interest in progressive causes, or with a commercial provider of donor advised funds which has zero expertise in any charitable cause, or with a private foundation which requires the donor or family and staff to do all the work of running the foundation and making grants.
Clemens is approachable, dedicated, strategic in his thinking and creative. If you are engaged in progressive giving, you might want to get in touch.
