Catalytic Philanthropy
Presented on January 26, 2010 by Mark Kramer, Managing Director, FSG Social Impact Advisors
In conversation with Thomas M. Siebel, Chairman of the Meth Project Foundation, Siebel Foundation, and First Virtual Group; and Diana Aviv, President and CEO, Independent Sector

Listen as Kramer overviews the four practices of catalytic philanthropy and then turns to Siebel and Aviv for their insights into the practice and practical aspects of applying catalytic philanthropy in the real world.
