Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Every year, billions of dollars are spent on philanthropic efforts around the world. But a lot of that money disappears before it ever has the chance to affect positive change — whether it’s marked for medical research or humanitarian aid. We talk with the president of one of the largest non-profit foundations in the United States about ways to make sure that philanthropic dollars don’t go to waste.
Guests
- Paul Brest President, The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation; and co-author of "Money Well Spent: A Strategic Plan for Smart Philanthropy (Bloomberg Press)
