2026 TPG PADDLE PALOOZA
Wednesday, June 10, 2026
The Partners Group, Renton, WA
Get ready for a pickleball party like no other – the 3rd Annual TPG Paddle Palooza is here! We’re calling all paddle pros and court conquerors to grab a partner, bring the spins, and join the smashin’ showdown. It’s fast-paced, high-energy fun for a great cause – where the dills are thrilling, and the volleys are victorious.
This year’s Paddle Palooza benefits two Seattle-based nonprofits – The Light Collective and Outdoors for All. Together, we’re helping expand access to healing, inclusion, and life-changing experiences in our local community.
2026 TPG THROWDOWN
Thursday, September 10, 2026
Portland, OR
The 5th Annual TPG Throwdown is back! Rally your teams, colleagues, and friends for a high-energy warehouse cornhole tournament that brings the competition (and the fun) inside.
We’re calling all backyard legends, summer-BBQ champs, and tailgate heroes to grab a partner and show off your skills – all for a great cause.
This year’s event benefits Home Plate Youth Services and Girls Build, two local nonprofits supporting the health, education, and future success of Oregon’s next generation. Together, we’ll help provide stability, opportunity, and pathways to independence for youth in our community.
THE COURSE FORWARD SCHOLARSHIP: NOW ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS
The TPG Foundation is proud to invest in the health, wellbeing, and education of the next generation.
Through The Course Forward Scholarship, we will award a $1,500 scholarship to one graduating senior in each qualifying school district across communities in Central and Eastern Oregon.
We recognize that every student’s path after high school looks different. Whether that’s a four-year university, community college, trade school, apprenticeship, or vocational program, we are honored to support students as they take their next step.
If you’re a graduating senior (or know one!) in a participating district, we encourage you to apply and share this opportunity.
#GIVE30 BY 2030
The Partners Group is a purpose-driven organization that provides a path toward ownership for all employees. Our intent is to make a difference in the community and to inspire others to do the same.
Our #Give30 campaign was launched in 2020 and is a 10-year goal to give back $30 million in 1) donated time and money to the community and 2) annual profit sharing for our own employees; by 2030, we expect to have expanded company ownership to 100% of employees. And we are well on our way.
Emily-Rose Galati
Executive Director
Our first annual TPG Throwdown in 2022 was a great way to kick off the Foundation’s fundraising efforts. We look forward to growing and expanding our portfolio of events, to provide local nonprofits with game-changing gifts to further their missions. We are grateful to the sponsors, participants, and generous donors who will help the Foundation reach its goals.

BIG GOALS
The Foundation’s focus is on root-cause issues and corresponding non-profits, so that TPG can:
- help our communities thrive, and
- support the next generation in moving upward and onward.
The goal is to “move the needle forward” for a small, select group of non-profit organizations so that they achieve their big goals. We want to give significant and game-changing gifts to those non-profits that are making a big difference.
PHILANTHROPY AWARD
Through the act of giving, we not only adhere to our TPG mission statement, but we strengthen our involvement in and commitment to our communities as well as our employees. We advance our own wellbeing through acts of volunteerism, financial assistance, and engagement with those around us.
We are proud to announce that for the 14th consecutive year, we have been honored as one of the Top Ten Corporate Philanthropists in the medium-size-company category ($10-50 million in revenue) by the Portland Business Journal.
