It was great meeting you and I am a huge fan of your work getting more money out of foundations. Looking forward to joining forces with you toward this important goal!
Glad to see you highlight the rising tide of "nonprofits should merge" talk from foundation boardrooms. Smith Arrillaga is spot on. That perspective can come only from those sitting at a remove from the community served and the groups doing the work. Clients of all of those nonprofits could tell you all the reasons why they rely on A group vs B group, even if from the boardroom they appear to do the "same thing."
I have absolutely no patience for this kind of "solution" coming from people who actively engage in manufactured scarcity with a commitment to the 5% payout as their ceiling.
Thanks so much Glen!

A huge Ray Madoff fan here. If the Prof G interview leaves you wanting more, she has a great conversation with Ezra Klein, too: https://www.nytimes.com/2026/04/17/opinion/ezra-klein-podcast-ray-madoff.html
