Description

We often hear about how Andrew Carnegie and Cornelius Rockefeller changed philanthropy, but there are so many other people in our nation’s history that helped change the way we raise money and give charitable donations.  In this episode, host Kevin Dean will present the untold stories of philanthropy through the years in the United States, from mutual aid societies of the 1700s to modern day. How does the first published book on philanthropy in the United States relate to the Salem Witch Trials? Why was Brown vs. Board of Education not considered a total victory by the NAACP? What does Ben Franklin have to do with matching gifts?  Find out as we jump around in history to chronicle some people who changed philanthropy for good (and some for the not-so-good).

I Was Told There Would Be Snacks: A Nonprofit Podcast, brought to you by Tennessee Nonprofit Network and powered by KUDZUKIAN. On our podcasts, we’ll be spilling the 501(c)tea on nonprofit issues that impact your nonprofit organization, questioning tired ways nonprofits and funders do business, and shedding light on bold new practices in our field. This is not your average nonprofit podcast! And no, we don’t provide snacks, but feel free to BYO. We were going to get some snacks donated, but the donation application was 42 questions and required too many attachments just to get a few dozen bagels and lukewarm coffee.
