Kathleen Shaw and I go way back.
She and I started our nonprofit careers together at the PACE Center for Girls.
We were working moms together, juggling the multiple responsibilities of parenting and careers, and we have now spent two decades together making grants to nonprofits here in Northeast Florida.
In Episode 3 of the Giving Forward podcast, “Head and Heart,” we talk about our community work over the years, including:
- How we came to know and work closely with Delores Barr Weaver, our community’s most generous philanthropist
- Why we try to balance the head and the heart in our work to build a better community
- What “trust-based philanthropy” means, and why unrestricted funding is so important to nonprofits
- How Kathleen came to be the “queen of disaster philanthropy,” helping lead the response to Hurricanes Matthew and Irma
- What it was like to start our careers serving girls who were at risk of dropping out of school
- How The Community Foundation helps grow resources for nonprofits by working with donors and growing endowments
