The Why and the How of the End: Featuring Tom Donley and Jenny Convey

Season 1 Episode 5

Trustees from two generations of the sunsetting Donley Foundation, Tom Donley and Jenny Convey, speak frankly about the history, evolution, and decision to dissolve their family’s foundation. In just over one year following the board’s decision to spend-down, the assets were distributed, and the foundation closed. They’re honest, direct, reflective, and generous in sharing their experience and perspectives on helping to shepherd the next phase of the family’s philanthropy.

Bonus: Here are some excerpts from the brochure Tom mentions at the end of the episode:  Jim Collins’ Good to Great and the Social Sectors
