Philanthropiece

read moreWe believe in participating, engaging, continually learning, and showing up. We stand with changemakers - those people who tenaciously work to address root causes of social issues and dedicate themselves to creating opportunities for their fellow community members. We stand for justice in all of its forms so that every person is able to live a fulfilling, healthy, and resilient life. In Guatemala, we worked closely with our compaeros to develop an innovative sustainability projection that will break the cycle of dependency that they have known in their community, inspiring their local non-profit organization to be self-funded by 2025.

We accompany local leaders as they create programs, initiatives, and partnerships that improve their communities. Philanthropiece, a private operating foundation, was originally founded in 1987 by social entrepreneur and humanitarian, Libby Cook. In 2006, Libby shifted the foundation's purpose to reflect a more global perspective, and Philanthropiece began the journey of "piecing together a better world" that it continues today.
