The Catalytic Philanthropy Podcast
Business:Non-Profit
When the board of a foundation dedicated to innovation in healthcare delivery asked, "What could we achieve with advocacy?", the question changed the entire trajectory of its philanthropy. Executive Director Jennie Riley of the Rx Foundation began learning about advocacy, organizing, and civic engagement from other funders and communities. In this Podcast, Jennie shares how the foundation journeyed to pursue its current goal - to build and nurture long-term community power to advance health justice. The Rx Foundation empowers community residents of all backgrounds to call on leaders and elected officials to take action on the community's needs for health and wellness, encompassing clean water and air, nutritious food, affordable housing, racial and gender equity, and access to healthcare. The foundation works to help residents hold their leaders accountable at the local and national levels. Learn how a foundation with one staff person uses all its resources to build the power and agency of communities nationwide.
