Founder of multiple ventures and one of the largest affordable housing portfolios in the U.S., he built a $2.5 billion empire with over 25,000 apartments nationwide.

The campaign to redraw the state's Congressional districts is getting a big cash infusion, with billionaire hedge fund manager and philanthropist Tom Steyer pledging $12 million to help pass Prop 50. KCBS Radio anchor Margie Shafer spoke with KCBS Insider Phil Matier.

In this episode, Janet Michael, host of "The Valley Today," talks with Nancy Baker, Executive Director of the Community Foundation of the Northern Shenandoah Valley. Nancy, who recently marked her three-month anniversary, shared her experiences and the foundation's mission to support local philanthropy. The Foundation's Role: A Savings Bank for Good The Community Foundation serves Winchester, Frederick County, and Clarke County. It helps donors and nonprofits create and manage charitable funds. These funds generate revenue, which is then distributed to local nonprofits and scholarships. Nancy described the foundation as a “savings bank for philanthropists,” focusing on long-term sustainability, unlike organizations that provide immediate funding. Building Security for Nonprofits Many nonprofits struggle to cover operational costs because most grants target specific programs. The foundation helps these organizations set up agency or designated funds. Over time, these funds can generate enough revenue to cover ongoing expenses. Nancy shared a story about the Adult Care Center, which used its fund to handle an unexpected move and renovation. Nonprofits can start a fund with as little as $500 and have five years to reach the $5,000 minimum. Philanthropy for Everyone Janet and Nancy discussed the misconception that only the wealthy can be philanthropists. Nancy emphasized, “Anybody can be a philanthropist.” Even small, regular contributions can grow into meaningful funds. She shared stories of ordinary people who created funds to honor loved ones or support causes close to their hearts. Family funds are also popular, teaching children the value of giving back. Making Giving Simple and Secure The foundation streamlines the process of distributing funds. Donors can let the foundation handle grant applications and vetting, or they can be more involved. The grant selection committee reviews applications, verifies nonprofit status, and ensures responsible use of funds. In 2025 alone, the foundation has distributed over $1.7 million in grants and scholarships. Philanthropy Day: A Community Celebration Philanthropy Day is a highlight for the foundation and local nonprofits. It's the day when grant recipients are announced and celebrated. Nonprofits from various sectors—arts, human services, youth programs—gather to share their stories. Nancy called it “the most wonderful day of the year for a lot of nonprofits.” The Realities of Grant Funding Janet noted that grants are not guaranteed and rarely cover all expenses. Nonprofits must juggle multiple fundraising efforts to keep their doors open. Nancy agreed, pointing out that savvy organizations use foundation funds to cover operational costs, freeing up other resources for programs. Supporting New and Emergency Nonprofits The foundation also acts as an incubator for emerging nonprofits. It can serve as a fiscal sponsor, allowing new groups to use the foundation's nonprofit status while they establish themselves. Recent examples include the Winchester Police Support Fund and programs like Coats for Kids. How to Get Involved Starting a fund is simple. Interested individuals or nonprofits can email Nancy or visit the foundation's website for guidance. The foundation offers personal support and a user-friendly online process. Community Support Makes It Possible Philanthropy Day and the foundation's work are made possible by generous sponsors like First Bank, Westminster Canterbury, and others. Their support ensures that the event remains free and that the foundation can continue its mission. Conclusion The Community Foundation of the Northern Shenandoah Valley proves that philanthropy is accessible to everyone. With careful planning and community support, even small contributions can make a lasting difference. As Nancy Baker says, “Just raise that tide a little higher for everybody.”

Wall Street Journal,  CNN, Fortune, Barrons, HGTV  Frank McKinney is a true modern-day Renaissance man who has pushed the limits of success in his every endeavor. His early years were not very promising: upon attending his 4th high school in 4 years (he was asked to leave the first 3), and seven stints in juvenile detention, he earned his high school diploma with a 1.8 GPA. With $50 in his pocket and without the benefit of further education, he left his native Indiana for Florida in search of his life's highest calling. Today, Frank's life is a testament to the power of aspiration to create a completely new reality. As a real estate artist he has created and sold 44 oceanfront mansions on spec, with an average price of $14 million. Frank recently announced he was un-retiring and coming back to create more real estate artistry! See two short films that were just made about Frank's exciting comeback! As a philanthro-capitalist, Frank has built 30 self-sustaining villages over the last 20 years in Haiti, providing 13,600+ children and their families with homes, schools, clinics, community centers, churches, renewable food and clean water, and means to support themselves. A best-selling author, actor, and keynote speaker, Frank has written seven books in six genres, with the title, premise and cover for his 8th book in his 7th genre being revealed at an exciting stunt Frank will perform on Friday the 13th of January, 2023! Frank has starred in four movies, and keynoted before audiences of ten to ten thousand around the world. Physically, Frank has pushed the limit of his body by racing in the Badwater 135-mile Ultramarathon 12x in the scorching summer in Death Valley, California, a race referred to by National Geographic as “the world's toughest footrace.” As with all of his books, Frank wrote his latest bestseller Aspire! in his Delray Beach, Florida, oceanfront treehouse office that has spectacular views and includes a bamboo desk, shower, bathroom, sink, air-conditioning, hardwood floors, cedar walls, a loft with a king size bed, and a suspension bridge to the master bedroom in the main house—that's Frank's commute to and from work! Today Frank and Nilsa, his wife of 32 years, split their time between Delray Beach and their “glass cottage” in the mountains of Canton, North Carolina. They enjoy visiting their 24 year-old daughter, Laura, in New York City, where she started and runs StrataBrand, a brand strategy firm. © 2025 All Rights Reserved © 2025 Building Abundant Success!!

#608: At age seven, Robert Rosenkrantz made a decision that would shape his entire life: he would take full responsibility for his future.As a child, Rosenkrantz watched his parents struggle financially. His father was unemployed for two years, and his mother worked as a drugstore clerk.Their financial insecurity was painfully obvious to young Robert. He never knew if the electricity or telephone service would be shut off.But rather than seeing this as an obstacle, he saw it as a path to self-reliance.By age 14, Rosenkrantz was managing investments for his family. By 35, he had amassed $400,000 — equivalent to about $4 million today. Then came the pivotal moment that changed everything: a negotiation with wealthy entrepreneur Joe Mailman.When Mailman expressed concerns about traditional investment structures that created a "heads you win, tails I lose" scenario, Rosenkrantz made a bold counter-offer. He put his entire liquid net worth at risk in exchange for a 50/50 profit split with no carried interest."First deal, we lost $100,000. The second one, we made $100 million," Rosenkrantz says during the interview. "So it averaged out."Now 82, Rosenkrantz joins us to discuss his book, "The Stoic Capitalist," and the principles that guided his career.For over 35 years, he's carried the same negotiation card from "Getting to Yes" in his wallet — a reminder that negotiation isn't about winning, but solving problems together.We talk about his counterintuitive investment philosophy: look for companies that require minimal specialized talent, like laundromats or self-storage facilities. He says these often make better investments than those needing exceptional management, like restaurants.This principle guided his first major success, a lawn and garden products business that essentially put dirt in bags — a simple operation that became a regional monopoly and eventually sold for $100 million.Today, Rosenkrantz funds scientific research on longevity and hosts debate programs that present balanced perspectives on contentious issues. His philanthropy includes backing a groundbreaking study that has extended worm lifespans from 15 days to over 250 days — potentially the longest lifespan extension ever achieved in any organism.When asked about retirement, he responds: "How do you spell that?"His advice for decision-making comes straight from stoic philosophy: focus only on what you can control — the present and future, not the past. This means disregarding sunk costs completely when making decisions and using reason to regulate emotions. For Rosenkrantz, counting the zeros — focusing only on opportunities with enough potential impact — helps prioritize time and delegate effectively. At 82, he still practices these principles daily, considering himself "biologically more like 70 and getting younger." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
