Description

Cindy Edelman is a dear friend, a former chair of our board of trustees, and a champion for public education.  

I’ve been privileged to work with Cindy for more than two decades in my role as president of The Community Foundation. Cindy was a visionary leader in the 10-year Quality Education for All Initiative, and she has never wavered in her support for public education since then. 

In Episode 7 of the Giving Forward podcast, “Bridging Divides,” we talk about our journey in community philanthropy over two decades, including: 

• Why The Community Foundation approaches using our voice to advocate for change in a time of political and social division 
• The benefits of giving through The Community Foundation – even when donors also have a private foundation 
• The “most beautiful gift” she’s ever received – the Cindy Edelman Excellence in Teaching Fellowship 

I hope you’ll enjoy this conversation as much as I did.
