EP.249 Onay Gutierrez is a multifaceted artist, collector, and preservationist with a rich background that spans education, ceramics, and historic preservation. Born in Veracruz, Mexico in 1977, Gutierrez began his career as an early elementary school teacher in marginalized communities in his home state. After immigrating to the United States, honed his skills as a ceramic artist. Gutierrez has a deep connection to the Penland School of Craft in the mountains of North Carolina, where he has been a student, patron, and now serves as a board member. This connection has likely influenced his artistic growth and commitment to the craft community. In addition to his artistic pursuits, Gutierrez is a passionate advocate for historic preservation. Alongside Jeffrey Childers PhD, he has restored three National Historic Places in Raleigh, NC. His commitment to art and social justice is further evident in their founding of the Gutierrez Collection, a contemporary art collection that explores themes of mental health, LGBTQ+ rights, Latin and Latinx identities, African and African diasporic cultures, women's art, and activism. The Gutierrez Collection has gained significant recognition, with its first museum exhibition currently on view at the Cameron Museum of Art in Wilmington, NC, until September 7th, and set to travel to the NC Museum of Art's Winston-Salem campus this fall. Through his work, Gutierrez continues to make a lasting impact on the art world, historic preservation, and social justice initiatives.

What about modern pinnacles of higher education in the U.S. like Harvard, Yale, and Princeton—places that have entrenched antisemitism and other -isms in the life of the university? Are these institutions that were founded for training members of the Christian clergy smart or savvy? How did such institutions start out so eager to be Christian then ultimately become much the very opposite? Join Kevin as we take a broad look at the commonplace drifting into foolishness, specifically of Christian institutions! // Download this episode's Application & Action questions and PDF transcript at whitestone.org.

Our guest for today's podcast is Wendy Li, Chief Investment Officer of Ivy Invest.  Before founding Ivy Invest, Wendy spent her career as an institutional investor managing billions of dollars for some of New York's largest endowments and foundations. Most recently, Wendy was Managing Director of Investments at the Mother Cabrini Health Foundation (MCHF). At MCHF, she was responsible for developing the foundation's investment strategy, sourcing and executing investments across asset classes, and exercising day-to-day management over MCHF's $4B portfolio. Prior to MCHF, Wendy held similar responsibilities at UJA-Federation of New York. She began her career in the Investment Office of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Wendy is a graduate of Columbia University and a CFA charterholder.   Without further ado, here is our conversation with Wendy Li.

Featuring Brian Galle, the Agnes Williams Sesquicentennial Professor of Tax Policy at Georgetown University Law Center, an expert on taxation and nonprofits. Galle recently served as a senior fellow in the division of corporation finance at the Securities and Exchange Commission. He joins us to talk about the proposed tax on university endowments now making its way through Congress. The Republican House Ways & Means Committee issued a press release proclaiming that their bill “holds woke, elite universities that operate like major corporations . . . accountable.” What is the endowment tax and what is its significance for the future of higher education? - 6/11/25

My guest is Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, MD, PhD, Director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and Professor Emeritus of Health Policy at Stanford University. We discuss which scientific questions ought to be the priority for NIH, how to incentivize bold, innovative science especially from younger labs, how to solve the replication crisis and restore trust and transparency in science and public health, including acknowledging prior failures by the NIH. We discuss the COVID-19 pandemic and the data and sociological factors that motivated lockdowns, masking and vaccine mandates. Dr. Bhattacharya shares his views on how to resolve the vaccine–autism debate and how best to find the causes and cures for autism and chronic diseases. The topics we cover impact everyone: male, female, young and old and, given that NIH is the premier research and public health organization in the world, extend to Americans and non-Americans alike.

About a month ago, we had an event called Magnify Learning Together where author Melinda Brown shared some insights about the temple from her book An Endowment of Love, and something she said has been on our minds ever since: “I believe that when we see our covenant relationships as eternal principles of loving relationships, that it's life-changing today—not just in some distant future.”    This served as a reminder that the temple is important to our everyday lives. We might sometimes find ourselves simply going through the motions, feeling like we're checking a box because it'll matter in some distant, eternal future, but when we focus on how our relationships can be strengthened through our covenants, and placing the Savior at the center of our temple experience, that can transform us and help us see the temple with a fresh perspective—and  that matters today!   Did you miss the Magnify Learning Together Zoom or in-person event with Melinda Brown? You can watch it now on YouTube!

In episode 19, host Heather Shanahan is joined by Ed Chaney, nonprofit tax attorney at Schell Bray, and Mike Vogelzang, Chief Investment Officer at CAPTRUST, to discuss the potential ripple effects of the latest tax reform proposals on the philanthropic landscape. With the 2025 expiration of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) on the horizon and a new tax bill advancing through Congress, Heather, Ed, and Mike unpack what's at stake for private foundations, colleges and universities, and individual donors. From increased excise taxes and asset thresholds to the strategic appeal of donor-advised funds, this timely conversation examines how institutional and individual giving may shift in response—and what nonprofit leaders and fiduciaries should be doing now to prepare.

The Call of Duty Endowment stands apart in the veteran employment space by deploying an aggressive, business-driven system to vet, coach, and hold accountable the non-profits it funds to ensure only the highest-performing organizations are available to junior enlisted veterans seeking meaningful careers. With over 44,000 veteran-serving organizations in the U.S. alone, the Endowment's Seal of Distinction is earned through a rigorous, data-driven process: applicants must prove, with hard numbers, their effectiveness in placing veterans into high-quality jobs, their cost efficiency, and their organizational integrity. This isn't a one-time check. CODE — in partnership with Deloitte — conducts ongoing audits and only those who consistently deliver results receive continued funding and support. If a grantee fails to meet placement or quality targets, they're coached intensively; if they still fall short, CODE moves on, scaling up only those partners who prove their impact year after year. For transitioning veterans, especially junior enlisted, this relentless vetting and accountability means you never have to navigate the chaos of career transition alone or risk wasting time with underperforming organizations. Don't get lost in a sea of 40,000 choices or settle for generic advice: the Call of Duty Endowment has already done the hard work of finding, funding, and improving the best. You owe it to yourself to leverage these resources because your service deserves more than a transition, it deserves a launchpad to a truly meaningful civilian career. Visit the Call of Duty Endowment's website, connect with a vetted partner, and take control of your next mission. Episode Sponsors: VM Merch Go Pills -- use "VM15" at checkout for 15% off your order.

Melinda Wheelwright Brown is an author and educator, her newest book is called 'An Endowment of Love: Embracing Christ's Covenant Way of Living and Loving'.I wanted to speak to Melinda because I learn a lot about the way she views the Temple Endowment, an important part of worship in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Some highlights from this episode include how to see Jesus's example in the covenants we make in the House of the Lord, why the phrase 'going through the Temple' isn't adequate, and how Latter-day Saints can make going to the Temple as warm and exciting as visiting their grandparents as a child. --You can find more of Melinda's work at the following links:- https://www.deseretbook.com/product/P6078337.html- https://www.ldsliving.com/melinda-wheelwright-brown- https://bravelikeeve.org/about-us/Follow For All The Saints on social media for updates and inspiring content:www.instagram.com/forallthesaintspodhttps://www.facebook.com/forallthesaintspod/For All The Saints episodes are released every Monday on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts and more:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVDUQg_qZIU&list=UULFFf7vzrJ2LNWmp1Kl-c6K9Qhttps://open.spotify.com/show/3j64txm9qbGVVZOM48P4HS?si=bb31d048e05141f2https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/for-all-the-saints/id1703815271If you have feedback or any suggestions for topics or guests, connect with Ben & Sean via hello@forallthesaints.org or DM on InstagramConversations to Refresh Your Faith.For All The Saints podcast was established in 2023 by Ben Hancock to express his passion and desire for more dialogue around faith, religious belief, and believers' perspectives on the topics of our day.

University Endowment Explainer by Uptown Radio

In this week’s episode of Political Contessa, Jennifer takes center stage for a candid solo discussion on her background as a first-generation college graduate, her dedication to education, and her critique of the current climate in higher education. Drawing on her experience at Stony Brook University and subsequent legal and advocacy work, Jennifer delivers an introspective and forthright perspective on the value of hard work versus elite entitlement, focusing especially on Harvard University’s recent controversies. Jennifer offers a critical analysis of Harvard’s fraught dealings with the federal government, including funding cuts and questions over campus climate and student protests. She explores the role of institutional endowments, administrative accountability, and the impact of activism on academic freedom. The conversation addresses issues of donor responsibility, campus diversity, tolerance in hiring and admissions, and the expectation that organizations uphold their stated missions. Jennifer doesn’t shy away from controversial viewpoints, pressing listeners to consider what true educational leadership, civic-minded activism, and institutional accountability should look like in today’s America. “If you discriminate based on gender, religion, race, you are a racist and you are a sexist and you should not be teaching classes.” ~Jennifer Nassour This week on Political Contessa: The contrast between elite and state university experiences ● The impact of federal funding cuts on Harvard ● The significance of Harvard’s $53 billion endowment ● Administrative responses to campus protests and inclusivity ● The influence of the Boston Globe’s editorial stance ● Faculty and admissions tolerance in higher education ● Donor expectations and institutional missions ● Challenging entrenched culture in elite academic settings Awaken Your Inner Political Contessa Thanks for tuning into this week’s episode of Political Contessa.

Over the last few years, in addition to teaching young single adults a temple prep class she calls “Temple Plus,” Melinda Brown has traveled from her home in Utah to Durham, North Carolina to pursue a degree from Duke Divinity School. In the process, she has found her love and appreciation for the temple deepen. On this week's episode, she shares why she believes the gifts God intends to endow us with within His holy house are intended to bless our lives in the present.  She now recognizes that eternity is now. 2:50- Divinity School 11:25- Liturgy and Temple Worship 16:15- The Giver and the Receiver 22:51- Teaching Children About the Temple 31:21- Seeking a Positive Temple Experience 38:19- Temple Garments 43:25- Practice 48:09- What Does It Mean To Be All In the Gospel of Jesus Christ? “Every day is a new starting point and we just get to keep trying.

The National Endowment for the Arts has withdrawn more than half a million dollars worth of grants that arts organizations all over Oregon were relying on. Portland Playhouse got a letter that said it would not get $25,000 meant for its production of August Wilson’s and Joe Turner’s "Come and Gone" that was to open the next day. Other organizations that saw their funding pulled include All Classical Portland, Oregon Children’s Theatre, NW Children’s Theatre, Passinart: A Theatre Company, and Profile Theatre. Portland Playhouse donors quickly made up the theatre’s lost $25,000 grant, but future federal funding is looking bleak to many Oregon arts organizations. Many of them met this week with Rep. Suzanne Bonamici, who vowed to do everything in her power to get federal funding restored. Claire Willett is a Portland-based playwright, artist and grant writer. She’s been following the NEA funding cuts for Oregon Arts Watch and joins us to share the latest developments.

Whether it's the civil rights movement, marriage equality or even seatbelt laws, community organizing is how change happens in America. In this encore episode, Dr. Tony Iton shares a masterclass in how social, political and economic power shape health outcomes and how to meaningfully shift those dynamics when it matters most. Tony argues that reinvigorating democracy at the community and local level is where we should be doubling down. This episode was impactful when it was first released but is even more relevant and timely now.We discuss:The ABC's of health for all: agency, belonging and social contractsHow California communities applied this framework to dramatically change school climate and reduce suspensionsThe role of narrative in shaping policy choices towards belonging or exclusionTony digs into why power matters in health:“We're talking about essentially community-level power, what we refer to as community agency, and we basically theorized that if we could build social, political and economic power in a critical mass of people in 14 low-income communities that have documented health disparities, that we could improve the health status of those populations over a 10-year period… We weren't thinking that there was something that we needed to do to people. In other words, it wasn't like increasing access to healthcare or, you know, enhancing the quality of public health education. This was fundamentally about unleashing the power of communities to [determine how resources are distributed].“Relevant LinksRead about our UC Berkeley School of Public Health Social Impact Fellows (Tony included)Learn more about the California EndowmentVisit Dr. Tony Iton's websiteRead Dr. Tony Iton's “Understanding How Health Happens – Your Zip Code is More Important Than Your Genetic Code” by Dr. Tony Iton, MD, JD, MPH and Robert K.
