In today’s episode, Kristin Todd, president and CEO of the Community Foundation of Northern Colorado, reflects on what it means to be an invested neighbor and community member. Drawing on more than three decades in Colorado philanthropy, Kristin shares insights on building trust, convening unlikely partners, and creating space for collaboration in an increasingly complex world.

Kristin discusses the unique role community foundations play as neutral, trusted conveners that bring civic leaders, nonprofit partners, and residents together to tackle shared challenges across both urban and rural communities.

At the heart of the conversation is a simple but powerful idea: leadership starts with showing up. Kristin explores how authentic relationships, regional thinking, and a willingness to listen can unlock solutions that no single organization can achieve alone.
