Description

Could it be that nonprofit leaders collectively have the knowledge and skills we need to not only survive but thrive -- and we just need to invest in sharing what we know with each other? The Pierce Family Foundation nurtures organizational capacity and individual leadership by investing in peer-to-peer skills-sharing among nonprofit workers. In this episode, we go deep with Heather Parish, the Foundation’s Co-Executive Director. Heather is joined by Lisa May Simpson, Vice President of Learning and Engagement at Forefront. We talk with Lisa about how Forefront, the Illinois association of funders and nonprofits, partners with Pierce Family Foundation to offer peer-learning among nonprofit folks and funders across the state. We discuss how investing in the nonprofit workforce in a place-based context can work to address issues of racial inequity, burnout, and the difficulties of tackling complex social problems.
