What can philanthropy learn from the 2016 final four? Read this blog post to find out.
I will get my bias out in the first sentence – I live in a suburb of Syracuse, NY. I tell you this so you understand why basketball is on my mind. With both the men and women’s teams having been in this year’s Final Four, basketball still dominates much of the conversation in our town even though both of our lacrosse teams are finding success this spring. As I listen to those that know a lot more about basketball than me talk and dissect each game, each play, each strategy – I can’t help but think about how the lessons from this year’s Final Four relate to my work in philanthropy as the Executive Director of the NY Funders Alliance, one of the thirty-three regional associations in the country.
