In this Beyond The Blog podcast by The Patterson Foundation, Kiarra Louis dives into the excitement surrounding Exponent Philanthropy’s 2024 Annual Conference and the launch of the Momentum Builder’s Circle. Joining her is Paul D. Daugherty, CEO of Exponent Philanthropy, who shares insights on how lean philanthropy is transforming communities and empowering funders to lead impactful change.
In our conversation, we’ll explore "lean philanthropy" — what it means and why it’s uniquely suited to community-based impact. Paul will also discuss Catalytic Leadership in Philanthropy (CLIP), a model that enables lean foundations to forge transformative change by focusing on local priorities, breaking barriers, and building deep community partnerships. From there, we shift to two exciting initiatives: the 2024 Annual Conference and the Momentum Builder’s Circle.

Intentionally Disturbing
Join me on this podcast as I navigate the murky waters of human behavior, current events, and personal anecdotes through in-depth interviews with incredible people—all served with a generous helping of sarcasm and satire. After years as a forensic and clinical psychologist, I offer a unique interview style and a low tolerance for bullshit, quickly steering conversations toward depth and darkness.
