From Inheritance to Impact with Rosie Rosenthal

In this inaugural episode, hosts Sadaf Rassoul Cameron and Arianne Shaffer offer their motivations for creating the show. Then they talk with friend and collaborator Rosie Rosenthal, who shares her journey from participating in a traditional family foundation to co-creating New Standard Fund—a participatory grantmaking program that entrusted community leaders in Virginia to decide where resources should flow. We explore what it means to release power, why community members closest to the challenges are the true experts, and how philanthropy should become more joyful to make it more effective. **ABOUT OUR GUEST** Rosie Rosenthal is a licensed clinical social worker, a mom, a person with wealth, a professional meddler, instigator, and activist. She works as a “wealth redistribution consultant,” offering her expertise to other donors seeking to move money differently. www.rosierosenthal.com MISGIVINGS is produced by Kindle Project.
