In the latest episode of the Association Transformation Podcast, Elisa Pratt of Brewer Pratt Solutions and Andrew Chamberlain of Elevated tackle a tough question for association and nonprofit leaders:
👉 Are foundations advancing mission and impact, or quietly draining time, money, and focus?
They dig into why foundations get created, why they’re so hard to unwind, and how leaders can honestly assess whether a foundation is truly adding value—or becoming a distraction.
This episode isn’t about easy answers. It’s a call to the sector.
💬 Have you seen a foundation work really well?
💬 Have you inherited one that wasn’t worth the squeeze?
💬 What lessons (good or painful) would you share?
🎧 Listen in, then chime in with your own stories.
