Irish President, Mary McAleese, will be the keynote speaker at a seminar in Dublin
on 14th April, “Realising the Power and Potential of Women’s Philanthropy”.

The seminar is a collaboration between the Community Foundation for Ireland and 
Philanthropy Ireland and is being supported by Ulster Bank. The seminar will also
be addressed by Ellen Remmer, an American expert on philanthropy.

In May 2009, TPI hosted a delegation consisting of fourteen senior administrators
and policymakers from philanthropic foundations, relevant government agencies, and
grant making bodies in Ireland and Northern Ireland. The intent of the program was
to highlight examples of innovation, thoughtful leadership, and administrative best
practice in the world of philanthropy – with an emphasis on exploring lessons learned
from the evolution of American philanthropy over the past several decades.

This delegation chose Ellen Remmer to bring to Ireland in the spring of 2010 to 
teach and inspire emerging philanthropy leaders. In addition to “Realising the Power
and Potential of Women’s Philanthrop”, Remmer will host a seminar on family philanthropy
for professional advisors.

The Philanthropic Initiative, Inc. (TPI) is a Boston-based nonprofit advisory team
that designs, carries out and evaluates philanthropic programmes for individual 
donors, families, foundations, and corporations.
