Untapped Philanthropy (Fluxx)

Guest: Robbie Heeger, CEO of Endaoment.

Robbie Heeger is the president and CEO of Endaoment, a tax-exempt community foundation built for the crypto industry and focused on social impact. This week he sits down with Untapped Philanthropy host and Fluxx co-founder, Kerrin Mitchell, to explore crypto giving, and just how easy it can be.

Guest: William Foster, Bridgespan Groups Managing Partner.
Imagine a world in which the toughest multi-decade long problems; whether it's racial injustice, poverty, or the preservation of democracy, were resourced in the same manner as a legacy institution. It’s a radical idea that would rely on what many would consider a “stodgy” grantmaking practice. We’re talking about endowments.

The Bridgespan Group's Managing Partner, William Foster, joins us this week to share more about why endowments might just revolutionize the way we think about philanthropy today.

Guest: Shaady Salehi, Executive Director, Trust-Based Philanthropy Project.
The Trust-Based Philanthropy Project is a five-year peer-to-peer funder initiative designed to address the inherent power imbalances between foundations and nonprofits. The work of the Trust-Based Philanthropy Project is deeply aligned with our work and mission here at Fluxx. We believe that it’s not only possible — but also essential — for technologists to partner with philanthropists in order to build pathways to deeper and more trusting partnerships between funders and grantees. 

That’s why we are especially thrilled to welcome Executive Director, Trust-Based Philanthropy Project, Shaady Salehi to this week’s Untapped Philanthropy podcast!
