Episode Highlights:

Denis’s advice to current and future philanthropists on impactful giving strategies

Denis Hayes Bio:
Denis Hayes is an environmentalist and a long-time champion of solar & renewable energy. He rose to prominence in 1970 as the coordinator for the first Earth Day. He subsequently founded the Earth Day Network and expanded the event to 180 nations. Earth Day is now the most widely observed secular holiday in the world.
During the Carter Administration, Hayes was director of the federal Solar Energy Research Institute (now the National Renewable Energy Laboratory). Hayes became an adjunct professor of engineering at Stanford University for several years, and also practiced law in Silicon Valley. Since 1992, Hayes has been president of the Bullitt Foundation in Washington and continues to be a leader in environmental and energy policy. He was the principal developer of the Bullitt Center, judged by World Architecture Magazine to be "the greenest office building in the world."
Hayes has also served as Executive director of Environmental Action, Director of the Illinois State Energy Office, Visiting Scholar at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, Fellow of the Worldwatch Institute, Fellow at the Bellagio Center, and Richard von Weizsäcker Fellow of the Bosch Foundation.
Hayes has received the national Jefferson Awards Medal for Outstanding Public Service as well as numerous other awards. Time Magazine named him as "Hero of the Planet" in 1999; the NYT profiled him as its Newsmaker of the Day; and Life Magazine selected him as one of the 100 most influential Americans of the 20th century. His newest book, COWED: The Hidden Impact of 93 Million Cows on America's Health, Economy, Politics, Culture, and Environment, was published by W.W. Norton in 2015.

Michael Mantell Bio:
Michael Mantell founded Resources Legacy Fund (RLF) and Resources Law Group (RLG) in 2000 to expand the work he had begun in partnership with the Packard Foundation and as a consulting lawyer in the late 1990s. Before consulting for the foundation, Michael was Undersecretary of the California Natural Resources Agency (CNRA) from 1991 to mid-1997. He was recruited to that position from his post as general counsel for the World Wildlife Fund.
Prior to that, Michael had been a director of the Conservation Foundation and a deputy city attorney for the City of Los Angeles. Michael is known for innovating successful multi-stakeholder planning processes resulting in significant outcomes, particularly in the areas of natural resources conservation, urban open spaces, climate change, public funding, and engaging underserved communities. At CNRA, he saw the possibility to achieve greater outcomes by deploying simultaneous strategies to improve policy, refine regulations, acquire land and water rights, strengthen ocean protection, build capacity, and create networks but was stymied by tight budgets. Then he met Jeanne Sedgwick of the Packard Foundation.

Born in Northern Ireland during “The Troubles,” he was educated at Queens University, Belfast, worked for one of the two Nobel prize-winning signatories of the Belfast Peace Agreement, and is a former columnist. His career has spanned the media, politics, and for-purpose missions in the UK, USA, Africa, and Latin America.

Episode Highlights:

Personal lessons learned working in philanthropy.

Examples of donor behavior to emulate or avoid.

Fred Ackerman-Munson Bio:
Fred has spent the last 20 years as Executive Director of the 444S Foundation in Bellevue, WA. During that time the Foundation has granted over $50 million to organizations working to protect wildlands and wildlife in Western North America. For 7 years prior to that Fred was Deputy Director of Conservation Northwest where he led The Cascades Conservation Partnership and Loomis Forest Campaigns that together raised over $100 million dollars to purchase and protect over 70,000 acres of forest in Washington’s Cascades Mountains.
During that same time Fred also consulted on campaign design, grantmaking and evaluation for numerous foundations including Pew, Oak, Brainerd and Ploughshares. For 12 years before that, Fred was Regional Campaign Director for Greenpeace, where he researched, developed, and implemented numerous successful campaigns on solid and toxic waste, energy, and fisheries issues. Fred has 4 kids in college and lives with the love of his life on a small horse farm in Damascus, Oregon.

David Secord Bio:
After 20 years in foundation and university leadership jobs, David established Barnacle Strategies as an independent consulting and volunteering platform. From a home base on an island in BC, David works with partners in Canada, the United States, and sometimes farther afield.
David enjoys variety, so at a given time, consulting clients might include foundations and funder affinity groups, partnership-oriented academic and research institutions, Indigenous people's organizations, and big or small NGOs. Projects and advising tend toward the creative and relevant, often integrating environmental, socioeconomic, and biocultural strategies - especially place-based ones. David also helps organizations recruit outstanding talent by managing executive searches and keeping fresh by serving on several volunteer boards.

booking@podgo.io (Podgo) — Wed, 5 Jul 2023 00:00:00 +0000

The personal journey that led Bob to see the importance of doing good.

Instilling generosity and translating your passion in your own story to supporting families.

The importance of having core values.

Bob DePasquale Bio:
Bob’s generosity journey started at age 18 when he was diagnosed with cancer and experienced the tragic events of 9/11 in just a few short days. He wouldn’t be around to speak about if it weren’t for some amazing acts of generosity.
Bob realized the powerful force that the giving mindset is after experiencing his life-threatening illness and the terrorist attacks. He spent 15 years learning how to apply giving principles in his own business and it is now his mission to help others do the same. Organizations that have a generous culture are bound to attract better employees and better customers.

#142 Understanding Nonprofit Finances with Sybil & Fred Ackerman-Munson

booking@podgo.io (Podgo) — Wed, 24 May 2023 00:00:00 +0000

Fred is excited to join Sybil today to discuss budgets and finances. Donors often do a good job at asking for very specific and detailed project proposals but then fail to be equally specific in their financial and budget requests. They discuss how to focus your request for the nonprofit’s financial information that aligns with your proposal request. This way you won’t have the nonprofit doing busywork. It is crucial to carefully consider the financial stability and potential of a nonprofit before donating, but unnecessary to ask for too much irrelevant financial information that you may not even use in your actual decision to fund the organization.

A seasoned philanthropist David Secord offers tips on how to be the best funder you can be, and make the most of your donations right away.

David Secord Bio:
After 20 years in foundation and university leadership jobs, I established Barnacle Strategies as my independent consulting and volunteering platform. From a home base on an island in BC, I work with partners in Canada, the United States, and sometimes farther afield. I enjoy variety and so at a given time consulting clients might include foundations and funder affinity groups, partnership-oriented academic and research institutions, Indigenous people's organizations, and big or small NGOs. Projects and advising tend toward the creative and relevant, and often integrate environmental, socioeconomic, and biocultural strategies - especially place-based ones. I also help organizations recruit outstanding talent by managing executive searches and keep fresh by serving on several volunteer boards.

booking@podgo.io (Podgo) — Wed, 4 Jan 2023 00:00:00 +0000

John Esterle is recently retired as the Co-Executive Director at The Whitman Institute, an independent foundation in San Francisco with a mission to advance equity through funding dialogue, relationship-building, and inclusive leadership. He is also the co-founder of Trust-Based Philanthropy.

The evolution of trust-based philanthropy.

The steps and key components of trust-based philanthropy.

How foundations can incorporate the concepts of trust-based philanthropy into their work.

Building an ecosystem of trust between trustees,staff, and nonprofits

John Esterle Bio:
John Esterle retired as Co-Executive Director of The Whitman Institute (TWI) in July 2022 when TWI, an independent foundation based in San Francisco, spent out all of its assets and ceased operations. TWI worked to advance social, political, and economic equity by funding dialogue, relationship building, and inclusive leadership. TWI also played a leading role in launching the Trust-Based Philanthropy Project in 2020, a five-year collaborative initiative to address the inherent power imbalances between foundations and nonprofits. John began his career at TWI in 1988 and became its Executive Director in 1998. He later led its transition from an operating to a grantmaking foundation as well as its decision to sunset the foundation. A past board president of Philanthropy for Active Civic Engagement and the Rooftop PTA, he also served on the boards of The Germanacos Foundation, LeaderSpring, and Images and Voices of Hope. Currently, John is a board member of The Right Question Institute. Prior to joining TWI, his most notable job was directing a pilot project called Crime and the News Media, which featured a series of dialogues between journalists and advocates of alternatives to incarceration. John received my B.A. in Liberal Arts from the Hutchins School of Interdisciplinary Studies at Sonoma State University and my M.A. in Broadcast Communication Arts from San Francisco State University.

#119 Sybil Speaks: To Spend Down or Not To Spend Down That’s the Question

booking@podgo.io (Podgo) — Wed, 6 Jul 2022 00:00:00 +0000

If you are donating to worthy causes, I am guessing you’ve asked yourself whether to give it all away in your lifetime, or over a set period of time. This is what’s called “spending down” in philanthropic circles. This month Sybil is going to investigate the right conditions to spend down, versus the benefits of investing your assets so that you keep giving to the cause you care about in perpetuity. Whether one of these strategies is better than the other is hotly debated in philanthropic circles. Sybil works with both types of philanthropic clients - the spend-down kind and the in-perpetuity kind - and she is here to tell you that there is no one right way here, just a series of pros and cons depending on how you want to show up for the cause you care about and the nonprofits you support.
There is already a lot of material out there that discusses the issue of spending down but most of it is too strident about one way that is the “right” way to go. That’s why Sybil is entering the fray to talk overall about the pros and cons so you can decide for yourself what’s best for you.
Episode Highlights:

That’s why Sybil is entering the fray to talk overall about the pros and cons so you can decide for yourself what’s best for you.

booking@podgo.io (Podgo) — Wed, 16 Mar 2022 00:00:00 +0000

You never know when disaster may strike in a community you care about, and when it does, you want to be prepared to show up in the best way possible. This month Sybil will focus on the theme of disaster philanthropy. This episode sets the stage and launches the conversation with Sybil’s advice on how to give well in this situation. COVID-19 was a real wake-up call, and we are seeing major disasters of all stripes hit communities across the globe. That’s why this entire month of January Sybil is focusing on this topic. In addition to her episode today, she is also interviewing experts this entire month who have direct experience in funding well during a disaster.
Episode Highlights:

Why do people fund disasters?

Top Seven Takeaways

It takes time, be patience - A disaster may only take days or weeks to wreak havoc on a community, but full recovery can take many years to accomplish.
Be nimble and open to change - in an emergency new and unanticipated needs will surface quickly.
Seek out the under-resourced - Communities may need resources, even if they are not profiled in the news.
Listen and learn - Even though it may feel urgent to you, take the time first to learn about the situation from experts before you give a donation of any size.
Local funders know best - Seek out local funders who know the landscape in the community you want to support.
National organizations can help - Check in with national organizations that have a good read on strategy in times of disaster
Hard truths about racism - Proactively look for solutions that support equity, diversity, and inclusion in response and recovery efforts.
