Are we living in unprecedented times for philanthropy, or have we seen this all before? Stacy Palmer, Chronicle of Philanthropy CEO, has some answers.
We're excited to share a recent episode from The Solve Effect podcast, where host Hala Hanna sat down with Stacy, who has reported for four decades on trends in giving, government funding, and the extremely wealthy people who power philanthropy.
Tune into a conversation all about:

- Building an entire field of journalism: When Stacy helped start The Chronicle of Philanthropy, charitable giving and nonprofits were drastically under-covered. Learn more about how she built an entire ecosystem of information and why that matters.
- The importance of big risks in giving: Big problems need big solutions. Sometimes, the only way to build them is through even bigger risks.
