Michael Meyers is an attorney, a trustee of The Community Foundation, and the first president of the LGBTQ community Fund for Northeast Florida.
He grew up in Jacksonville, and lived for many years in New York City. Lucky for us, he came back, and quickly committed to improving the community he and his family call now home.
In this conversation, we talk about the interesting work we’ve been privileged to be part of:
- How we worked with many others to create the LGBTQ Community Fund
- Why collective giving can enhance the impact of individual donors
- What well-run youth diversion programs can do to reduce crime and improve life outcomes
- How cash bail reform can address racial and economic disparities in the criminal justice system
I’m incredibly proud of the work Michael and I have been part of, and I hope you’ll enjoy our stories as we pull back the curtain on our work to build a better community.
