This week we’re revisiting another one of our favorite episodes!

A few months back Mariam sat down with Elizabeth Park, a long-time partner and supporter of Second Day, to discuss the complexities and power of philanthropy, fundraising, and unpacking the “money is power” dynamic in the nonprofit world. Elizabeth is the Donor Engagement Associate at Brooklyn Community Foundation, the first and only public foundation dedicated to Brooklyn's vibrant nonprofit community. Through their strategic grant-making, the Foundation is prioritizing community-led, grassroots organizations often overlooked by larger philanthropic institutions. Elizabeth joined the team in April 2021 and provides core support to the Foundation's Development team, with a focus on guiding giving with a racial justice lens and growing an engaged network of partners and supporters.

Elizabeth previously worked as the Executive & Development Coordinator on the Strategic Partnerships team at Mission Capital, a capacity building nonprofit working to advance equity and opportunity in Central Texas.
