Tom Riley & how to give well

Tom is a contributing editor to Philanthropy Magazine, and from 2001 to 2009, he was Associate Director of the White House Office of National Drug Policy. Tom shares the history of his grandparents' foundation, how to honor donor intent over time and apply it well, why the Connelly Foundation relies on personal knowledge over metrics, and, of course, how charity transforms the giver. You'll also hear from Liz Palla, partner at American Philanthropic and former senior program officer at the William E.
