The J.M Kaplan Fund’s Executive Director Discusses Great Innovators in the Social Sector

The following is a conversation between Amy Freitag, Executive Director of The J.M. Kaplan Fund, and Denver Frederick, the Host of The Business of Giving. The J.M. Kaplan Fund champions transformative social, environmental, and cultural causes through inventive grantmaking. Over its history, the Fund has devoted some $300 million to propel fledgling efforts concerning civil liberties, human rights, the arts, and the conservation and enhancement of the built and natural worlds. To continue its legacy of catalytic giving, the Fund launched the J.M.K. Innovation Prize in 2015, reaching across America to provide early-stage support for entrepreneurs with 21st-century solutions to urgent social challenges. And here to discuss all of that with us is Amy Freitag, the Executive Director of The J.M. Kaplan Fund.
