Registration open: Strategic Philanthropy Course

Green Templeton is pleased to announce that registration for the next Strategic Philanthropy Course is now open, with the next cohort starting 29 September 2026.

What is the Strategic Philanthropy Course?

This course is developed in collaboration with Regeneration Group’s Polycapital Academy. It provides frameworks and tools to align philanthropy with intrinsic values, while applying rigorous approaches to impact.

This 11-session online programme will help participants move from intention to strategy with clarity and confidence. It begins with values clarification and purpose then moves through cause prioritisation, evidence based reasoning, and practical decision making.

Participants will learn tools to develop a philanthropic practice that is both personally grounded and strategically robust.

Who is running it?

The college’s collaborators, Polycapital Academy, operate at the intersection of impact and private wealth. They equip wealth holders, inheritors, advisors, and philanthropy and private wealth professionals with the tools, confidence, and skills to be outstanding impact agents.

The course will be taught by Sid Efromovich, Co-founder and CEO of Regeneration Group (pictured).

Green Templeton Research Fellow Dr Bridget Kustin is Academic Director of Polycapital Academy.

What will participants receive upon completion?

Participants who complete the programme will receive a Certificate of Completion from Polycapital Academy and Green Templeton College, University of Oxford, and will join a small cohort of wealth holders, inheritors, and advisors and professionals who are equally serious about shaping their impact journeys with thoughtfulness and rigour.
