Public Funding For Public Good

There’s a lot of power in philanthropic work – it’s a way to dole out money to communities directly affected by issues, but it’s also an opportunity to reclaim our imagination. As we learn today, when public dollars are in the right hands, we're able to invest in our local communities, leverage change, and create a vibrant multiracial democracy. In this episode, Lemonada host and journalist Gloria Riviera chats with the president and CEO of Marguerite Casey Foundation, Dr. Carmen Rojas, about the countless ways their investment is helping shape a society that works for everyday people.
