Jeffrey J. Cain, Joanne Florino, Neil Hrab, Jason Lewis, and Julia Nelson to continue bringing experience, knowledge, and wisdom to coverage of and commentary about philanthropy and nonprofit sector.
The Giving Review welcomes five contributing fellows. They are (in alphabetical order) Jeffrey J. Cain, Joanne Florino, Neil Hrab, Jason Lewis, and Julia Nelson. Each is already a contributor to the site, and they will continue bringing their experience, knowledge, and wisdom to its coverage of and commentary about philanthropy and nonprofit sector.
Cain is the founder and principal of Lemolo Bay Advisors. His career includes business, nonprofit, and private-foundation executive leadership and consulting. Prominently featured in TGR’s major 2023 symposium, “Conservatism and the Future of Tax-Incentivized Big Philanthropy,” he’s written for us about, among other things, Giving USA’s annual report on philanthropy, donor-advised funds, and Giving Tuesday.
Florino is the Adam Meyerson Distinguished Fellow in Philanthropic Excellence at Philanthropy Roundtable. She was executive director of the Triad Foundation, before which she was executive director of the Park Foundation, a program associate at The Atlantic Philanthropies, and taught American history at Cornell University and Ithaca College. She was also an important part of TGR’s “Conservatism and the Future of Tax-Incentivized Big Philanthropy” symposium and has written for us about Karl Zinsmeister.
Hrab, an independent writer and researcher, is a lifelong admirer of the American philanthropic tradition. Located in Toronto, he ghostwrites articles, speeches, and reports for executives and advises global clients on public relations and publicity. He’s written for TGR about Louis Booker Wright, the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation, and Elon Musk.
Lewis is a nonprofit-fundraising consultant, author, educator, and speaker. He is a partner and the chief innovation officer at Seed, and he blogs at The Butterfly Effect. He’s written for us about the professionalization of fundraising, direct mail and mailing lists, and how philanthropy has lost touch with the working class.
Nelson is chief operating officer of the Woodson Center. She’s written for TGR about grassroots efforts to make life better for the poor, “depolarization” as the new DEI, and how shame and entitlement can both be toxic to upward mobility.
