Evolving an advocacy alliance: Philanthropy California
Philanthropy California is a 10-year-old alliance between Northern California Grantmakers (NCG), Catalyst of San Diego & Imperial Counties (formerly Catalyst), and Southern California Grantmakers (SCG). In this episode, I speak with Karla Mercado, Director of Philanthropy California, Karen Freeman (now Chief Operating Officer at Southern California Grantmakers), and Megan Thomas, President & CEO of Catalyst of San Diego and Imperial Counties, about the evolution of Philanthropy California and why they believe the alliance has endured. In addition, we talk about the power of alliances for advocacy and the policy wins they attribute to working together.
