Why Institutional Philanthropy Shouldn't Exist with Jennifer Nguyen

“There’s all this wealth that’s locked up, that has been taken from the community that needs to be distributed back to the community.” 

Break Fake Rules is a podcast from the Stupski Foundation that questions philanthropy’s self-imposed rules and looks for ways philanthropy can better serve communities and contribute to lasting change. 

Glen speaks with Jennifer Nguyen, director of postsecondary success at the Stupski Foundation, who makes the case for integrating students in decision-making, greater wealth distribution, and why institutional philanthropy should cease to exist.
