Glen Galaich, PhD: Control

Glen Galaich challenges the rules, systems, and frameworks in which foundations operate, and while it’s not always a welcome perspective for philanthropists, his commentary could be the breath of fresh air that philanthropy needs. American philanthropic organizations have amassed more than 2 Trillion dollars, and if you ask Galaich, that’s a lot of money just… sitting. He is the head of the Stupski Foundation in San Francisco and was named one of TIME100’s most influential people in philanthropy. Galaich co-hosts the Break Fake Rules podcast  and authored the non-fiction book, Control: Why Big Giving Falls Short. He has worked for over two decades in partnership with philanthropists, policymakers, and community leaders in an effort to advance social change.
