ACTION 365
The Global Summit impact doesn't stop when participants go home. Using Empowerment Works’ collaborative, multi-sector model of community engagement and online planning, TGS promotes synergistic philanthropy through global partnerships (PIE). TGS is therefore a catalyst for a new philanthropy system fueling locally-led solutions 365 days a year.
TGS Philanthropy System
Guided and unified by local needs, The Global Summit™ philanthropy system mirrors that of Empowerment Works: leveraging donor resources in 7 locally-adaptable stages by matching grants to participating organizations and private partners.
By utilizing 7 Stages to Sustainability, the EW and TGS philanthropy system ensure delivery of critical resources in uncertain economic times, eliminates duplication of efforts, allows partners to advance their unique goals while increasing the impact of the whole, and address systemic problems from the ground up.
Partners In Empowerment (PIE) & 1PIE Portal - United in Action for a Sustainable World

The following social and economic sectors are the foundation of the 1PIE global network:
Hosted and promoted via TGS partner sites, the 1PIE portal will empower year round community collaboration through the following applications:
1. Local action calendars with cultural arts events, educational workshops, sustainable business promotions and publications;
2. Critical Mass Campaigns (Policy, Action & Public Awareness) enabling groups with common goals to raise their collective voices for greater impact / public awareness;
3. Online Eco-Mall generating resources for community-based initiatives;
4. Appropriate technology database supporting transfer to local program areas & partners;
5. Program collaboration tools supporting locally identified goals and needs;
6. Local needs assessments using universal program indicators to facilitate partner collaboration in program areas to reduce duplication and increase collective impact.
