Creative Funders Explore Their Art and Craft

Meet some of the most creative, resourceful, and risk-taking funders in the country. These individuals are creating a new kind of philanthropy. They’re shifting from the transactional to the transformational.

We’ll explore:

  • How do they make impact far beyond their size?
  • What powers and resources do they use–beyond money?
  • Why are lean funders often the first to notice and support breakthrough solutions?
  • How do they build civic participation and advance equity?
  • How do they catalyze change?
