Who: The Friends of Indianola (Iowa) Public Library Foundation

Who: Des Moines (Iowa) Christian School
Challenge: This private school had exhausted its resources for a major building campaign to fund a new K-12 campus. The project needed facilitation, organization, and direction. The school faced a “use it or lose it” deadline from creditors to raise $1.1 million (out of a goal of $8 million) in just a few months.
Who: Clinton (Iowa) Riverview Park & Riverfront Development
Challenge: The local Chamber of Commerce initially partnered with the Riverview Park Commission to engage TPG Philanthropy Group to conduct a feasibility study for raising the funds to complete its Riverfront Master Plan. Because such a major community project involved many competing organizations, personalities, and strategies, there was also a need to develop support among community members and funders, and build and facilitate consensus on direction and strategy among the project’s leaders.
Who: A major agriculture-related financial services corporation
Opportunity/Challenge: This company had seen a major expansion, overhaul, and re-focusing of its long-standing charitable giving and community involvement programs.

TPG Companies, Inc. was asked to help the company determine what core questions needed answering, and then to find the answers.
Who: Bidwell Riverside Center, a nonprofit agency that provides services and help to hundreds of in-need individuals and families
