Stories of strategic philanthropy in Aotearoa: NEXT Foundation

Our CEO Bill Kermode recently sat down for a chat with CSP friend and Partner Matthew Monahan, host of the compelling Ma Earth series.

In this thoughtful exchange, Bill reflects on a decade of learning at NEXT Foundation, and shares some of the stories and insights that are helping shape our work here at the Centre for Strategic Philanthropy (CSPNZ).

A huge thank you to Matthew and the Ma Earth team for hosting Bill and creating space for these important conversations.
