Asset transfers as a strategic social impact tool
In this episode, we talk about asset transfers. Asset transfers occur when a nonprofit gifts part or all of its assets to another organization.
In this episode, we feature three conversations. The episode begins with a conversation with Laura Solomon, Founder of Laura Solomon & Associates. The conversation focuses on the legal aspects of an asset transfer. Next, we turn to a story of a specific asset transfer between Uplift Solutions and the Share Food Program. George Matysik, executive director of the Share Food Program, joins the podcast to talk about how this asset transfer became an incubator for innovation at the Share Food Program. Finally, we tell the story of another asset transfer. This time, Michelle Freridge, executive director of the Asian Youth Center, describes how she sought an asset transfer to encourage culture change.
