The Patterson Foundation's (TPF) approach to philanthropy goes beyond traditional geographic boundaries, tapping into expansive networks and movements that work toward shared aspirations.
Exemplifying TPF's collaborative approach to philanthropy, a report titled Proven Practices: Applying National Practices Locally was developed to identify and examine ten instances where TPF worked with national organizations to catalyze efforts toward shared aspirations locally while enhancing national efforts. As a follow-up to the report, and to dive deeper into how TPF undertakes its philanthropic work in ways others are not doing, cannot do, or will not do, Kiarra Louis had a conversation with Debra Jacobs, President and CEO of The Patterson Foundation.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
