Investment Bankers Gone Good: Making Money and Saving the World
This month’s blog post as Minnesota Council on Foundation’s Executive in Residence is about my experience at the Gratitude Railroad.
Imagine my surprise when a hedge fund manager invited me to a retreat of the “Gratitude Railroad” rather than the typical finance conference centered on topics such as derivatives: aka highly complex products no one understands. With a conference name that intriguing, I had to find out more.
What I'm doing now
Who knew how much I missed business travel? Despite the still-cramped seats, forced close proximity to other humans in a small capsule, and a few crabby passengers, after a 2 year hiatus, it was great to get back on the road. Thank you Impact PHL for giving me an excuse to visit our long-time client The Barra Foundation in Philadelphia. Their Total Impact Summit was invigorating, educational and inspiring, especially seeing all the local funds and Black led developers working to create economic opportunities in the city. Can’t wait to go to San Francisco for SOCAP and the National Center for Family Philanthropy conferences in October. Ping me if you’ll be there!
