From Inheritance to Intention: Julie Goldstein on Evolving a Family Foundation

The Hopeful Pioneers Podcast

In the most recent episode of The Hopeful Pioneers, host Ali Motroni sits down with Julie Goldstein, Executive Director of Swaha Foundation, for an honest conversation about the evolving role of foundations in creating enduring change.

Julie shares her journey from traditional grantmaking to leading a foundation that utilizes all of its resources as tools for systemic transformation.

Whether you're a foundation leader, investor, or simply someone curious about how wealth can be leveraged for good or the inner workings of a family foundation, this episode offers both inspiration and practical insights.
