Listen Later

All of you are welcome for an open and insightful discussion about philanthropy based on trust. Today, our guest draws upon extensive experience to encourage both donors and nonprofit organizations to engage in a path toward community partnerships that are more significant and impactful.

In this episode, we sit down with John Brothers, a seasoned advocate for trust-based philanthropy and President of the T. Rowe Price Foundation, to unravel the intricacies of fostering genuine relationships between funders and nonprofits. John candidly shares his insights on transforming traditional philanthropic models and the journey toward a more transparent and community-centric approach.

John Brothers is presently the President of the T. Rowe Price Foundation and holds the position of President for the Program for Charitable Giving. Before joining T. Rowe Price, John founded and led Quidoo Consulting, an international consulting firm, for over ten years. During his tenure at Quidoo, he played a crucial role in expanding the firm and collaborating with more than 400 clients across twelve countries worldwide. Also, John holds a Doctorate in Law and Policy from Northeastern University, an MPA in Nonprofit Management from New York University, and an MBA in Public Policy from American Public University, where he initially began at Columbia.
