Place-Based Talent-Investing: Small Scale, Big Value


Listen Later

This episode makes clear the need for and value of talent-investing for community foundations and other place-focused funders. Our guest, Elizabeth Kidd of the Community Foundation of the Holland/Zeeland Area, demonstrates how even the most modest dollar amounts used in strategic, responsive talent-investing at key inflection points in the lifecycle of leaders and their institutions, can have exponentially positive impact for nonprofit executives, workers, organizations, and communities.

Listen to gain an understanding of…

  • Why and how talent-investing has become valuable to the board and staff of the Community Foundation.

  • How the Community Foundation has created and sustained value for grantees and the community through its grantmaking to strengthen the local nonprofit sector.

  • Why it’s important to invest in the nonprofit workforce at key moments of organizational change and across the life-cycle stages of individuals and organizations.
