What Philanthropy Could (And Should) Look Like

The Marguerite Casey Foundation recently hit an impressive milestone: 100 percent alignment of their billion-dollar endowment with their mission of building community power and making the government work better for people. That meant screening out harmful investments, investing in diverse managers and ensuring every dollar supports their values. To understand exactly how they made it happen, host Gloria Riviera talks with the Foundation’s President and CEO, Dr. Carmen Rojas, and their Vice President of Investments and Operations, Dan Gould. Together, they make the case for how their accomplishments can be a model for philanthropy more broadly and why aligning the endowment is just the first step.
