Learn, share, and transform as philanthropists.
Our events are designed to inspire, inform, and encourage Circle members to think boldly and make an impact in our community.
Effective Philanthropy Workshop
We are pleased to welcome Lowell Weiss of Cascade Philanthropy Advisors, who will share strategies with BSVC members for evaluating initiatives and organizations across diverse metrics, guide members through challenges in giving, and engage with the latest research shaping effective philanthropy.
A former speechwriter to Bill Clinton and Deputy Director at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Lowell recently relocated to Europe to support funders and organizations seeking to advance strategic, high-impact philanthropy.
