A Peek Behind the Philanthropic Curtain: A Conversation with Pamela Shifman & the NoVo Foundation’s Radical Hope Fund

Cyndi Suarez
June 22, 2018

NPQ’s Senior Editor Cyndi Suarez and NoVo Foundation Executive Director Pamela Shifman will be taking a peek behind the philanthropic curtain to discuss the Radical Hope Fund, a fascinating new global fund at the NoVo Foundation to build social movement infrastructure. The Fund offers movement leaders the support they need to not only defend against daily attacks, but to dream of new possibilities, experiment with new collaborations, and guide us to new solutions. Hear about their process, their grantees, and what they are learning.
