The Center for Community Investment (CCI) at the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy is proud to announce the selection of the inaugural cohort of its Field Catalyst program. Among those chosen is Pierce Family Foundation Co-Executive Director Heather Parish.

These 13 leaders from across the United States are established practitioners in community investment and development, racial justice, and adaptive leadership. Over the next year, they’ll partner with CCI and work together to explore how they can help transform the practice of community investment in the U.S. to leverage existing local resources and drive systemic change anchored in racial justice.

Inside Philanthropy published an article highlighting the problems that nonprofits have with IT, particularly acute during the pandemic. The article profiled Technology Association of Grantmakers (TAG), and their important work in both providing nonprofits with IT resources and encouraging more foundations to support IT needs. Pierce Family Foundation was mentioned as a funder who is “doing this right.” Subscribers to Inside Philanthropy can read the article here.

Pierce Family Foundation Co-Executive Director Heather Parish recently appeared on Fund the People, a podcast with Rusty Stahl. She is joined by Lisa May Simpson of Forefront, and the two discuss the importance of knowledge sharing in the nonprofit sector. Give it a listen!
