Local Philanthropy shines a Beacon for next generation giving
Wed, 13/02/2013
We are delighted to report that our TCW Co Founder John Pontin OBE and Chief Executive Wendy Stephenson are amongst the 33 winners of this year’s prestigious Beacon Fellowship Awards.
The Awards celebrate outstanding philanthropic achievement made by individuals, families and small groups of individuals working collaboratively across seven distinct Beacon categories. They highlight key trends in philanthropic giving and pioneering developments including the growing focus for donations of money, along with time, talents and social capital to support future generations and local initiatives in the UK.
Collectively, the 33 Beacon Fellows have donated £100million to philanthropic causes, across a mix of local and global organisations, large institutions and grassroots charities.
John and Wendy are thrilled that their work and that of the whole TCW team has been recognised with such a prestigious award.
