In this episode of the Fund The People Podcast, you'll get an inside view of one foundation's journey to investing in healthy nonprofit executive transitions - and helping other funders to do the same. Host Rusty Stahl sits down withLiz Sak, Executive Director ofCricket Island Foundation, andHana Sun, a consultant who manages the Foundation's Leadership Transition Fund. They discuss Cricket Island Foundation's approach to supporting nonprofit leadership transitions, particularly for small, grassroots organizations focused on youth organizing. The foundation provides three-year grants of $45,000 per year to help organizations navigate the before, during, and after phases of executive transitions.Often funders unintentionally create barriers to healthy grantee leadership transitions, with many nonprofit leaders hesitant to openly discuss their plans to leave due to fears of lost or postponed funding. Cricket Island Foundation addressed this by publicly signaling their supportive stance toward transitions, creating a firewall between the foundation and grantees through an external consultant, establishing peer-learning cohorts for transitioning leaders, and developing resources for both nonprofits and funders through the Leading Forward initiative.The discussion emphasizes that successful transitions require long-term planning, adequate resources, and a supportive funding ecosystem. We also talk about the importance of normalizing conversations about transitions and creating safe spaces for leaders to explore their future plans.Resources:Cricket IslandLeading Forward Leadership Learning CommunityBuilding Movement Project “Could Term Limits for Nonprofit Leaders Ease the Burnout Crisis?” by Chitra Aiyar,Chronicle of Philanthropy, Jan. 7, 2025“Supporting Nonprofit Leadership Transitions: A Foundation's Journey” July 2024ciftransitions@gmail.comLiz SakLiz Sak became the second Executive Director of the Cricket Island Foundation in 2008, overseeing all aspects of the Foundation's management including finance, program development, grantmaking, and field-building.Prior to joining the foundation, Liz spent more than two decades running non-profit organizations.

What is sex-worker led organizing, and why is it important to center sex workers in gender justice organizing? As an organization that houses the Sex Worker Giving Circle and has been supporting sex worker-led organizations since 1998, we have always believed in the power of centering and resourcing the gender justice work that sex workers lead. Along with sex worker organizers Jenna Torres and Raquel Savage, this episode dives deeper into why it is important to center current and former sex workers in gender justice organizing, what decriminalization is and isn't, and the ways that sex work decriminalization overlaps with abolition movements. We also get a great primer on what the Sex Worker Giving Circle at Third Wave Fund is and how it came to be from Third Wave's very own Christian Giraldo and Pati Morales!

Ep. 69 Amy Richards - Really Interesting Women podcastAmy Richards describes herself as an author, producer and organizer. But those generic terms hardly describe her enormous global influences on modern feminist thinking. In fact, she is the president of Soapbox, Inc., the world's largest feminist speakers' bureau, and the affiliated Soapbox Foundation, creators of Feminist Camp. She co-founded and spent several years leading the Third Wave Foundation now known as the Third Wave Fund, a national organization for young feminist activists which promotes gender justice and is a movement to end patriarchy, transphobia, homophobia, and misogyny. She was a producer of the Emmy nominated TV series, Woman, an executive producer on the movie The Glorias starring Julianne Moore, a consulting producer on the HBO documentary Gloria Steinem: In Her Own Words and an advisor to PBS documentary on the women's movement in America, MAKERS: Women Making America. She is most popularly known as the co-author (with Jennifer Baumgardner) of her book Manifesta: Young Women, Feminism & the Future which just issued a 20th anniversary edition. Put simply, she's a leading global voice for contemporary feminist issues.#Reallyinterestingwomen #RIW #amyrichards #soapboxinc #thirdwavefund #gloriasteinem #theglorias #feminism #patriarchy #genderequality #futurewomen #profoundwomen #womenofinfluence #womenofimpact #feministcamp #manifesta #thridwave #metoo #extraordinarywomen #womensequality #generationwomen #womensleadershipImage via Soapbox, Inc.

"The idea of writing memoir is about listening carefully. The way to find a story or, at least the story that needs to be told is that moment that you're writing is the emerges from a deep kind of inner listening and finding the memories that are charged that don't want to leave that have a certain kind of energy to them and, if you listen to them, and you allow them to be born in the writing, you discover your own story because your story is basically made up of all the memories that continue to hold the charge for you. All the memories that are lodged in your mind that you've secreted away and when you can excavate that story and you can write it down, then you can make sense of it and you can understand why you're living the way you're living and why you feel the way you feel. And you can also decide to to release those memories so that you can have new memories that can define and can shape your life."Writer and producer Rebecca Walker has contributed to the global conversation about race, gender, power, and the evolution of the human family for three decades.

Quotes from the show:“We have to come to terms with catastrophe, such that we are not surprised by evil nor paralyzed by despair.” –Dr. Cornel West The Tight Rope Episode #10“In what ways, given the time that we were growing up, was the myth of utopia not even granted to us? We were born into a world in which we’ve seen corruption at heightened levels… In many ways, purpose has been two-pronged in that it has helped me, with an exceeding amount of clarity, move forward and say, okay, what are the moves I want to make in my world to try and make an impact?” –Yara Shahidi The Tight Rope Episode #10On being entrenched in corporate America: “How do I balance the impact of what I’m doing on a personal level to the positive impact I make to this corporate world that I’m still trying to figure out how I want to deal with?” –Yara Shahidi The Tight Rope Episode #10“I wouldn’t be where I am if people hadn’t handed the mic to me.” –Yara Shahidi The Tight Rope Episode #10 “How do I pay enough attention to the world around me to service it to the best of my ability?” –Yara Shahidi The Tight Rope Episode #10 On Prince: “I really do feel that he created the foundation for how we move through this industry.” –Yara Shahidi The Tight Rope Episode #10 “My last name, Shahidi, means witness or to bear witness. I hope that through art or whatever these other avenues are-- I’m considering law school, we’ll see-- that I’m able to do that [bear witness] to the best of my ability and to continue to open doors in every space.” –Yara Shahidi The Tight Rope Episode #10 “Many people that are frontlines in this movement are also creatives in the truest sense. It’s something I struggle with is seeing the level of vitriol sent their way in a movement that is so steeped in love. In hearing [James Baldwin’s] words of that cognitive dissonance that occurs when you see someone aware enough that it calls attention to your own state of sleep, that that is what [the vitriol] stems from really contextualizes this moment.” –Yara Shahidi The Tight Rope Episode #10 “My dear brother John Lewis was part of a rich tradition of Black people that put a primacy on morality and a centrality on spirituality. He was such a kind human being. He was so gentle. He was a sweet person. He had a soulfulness to him.” –Dr. Cornel West The Tight Rope Episode #10 “Is it a fair standard to hold him [John Lewis] to? Can a person be in Congress 33 years, 15 years, 5 years and not fundamentally have to wrestle with the contradictions that will in a sense require a less pure response? I just don’t see how you do it.” –Tricia Rose The Tight Rope Episode #10 “Don’t come talking to me about what my violence might look like when you’re constantly crushing my neck to death.” –Tricia Rose The Tight Rope Episode #10 “The arc of the force of their [Black freedom fighters] efforts is what we want to recall while we still the truth about all our human frailties.” –Tricia Rose The Tight Rope Episode #10 Stay Connected:Cornel WestWebsite: www.cornelwest.comTwitter: @CornelWestFacebook: Dr. Cornel WestInstagram: @BrotherCornelWest Linktree: Cornel West Tricia RoseWebsite: www.triciarose.comLinkedIn: Tricia RoseTwitter: @ProfTriciaRoseFacebook: Tricia RoseInstagram: @ProfTriciaRoseYoutube: Professor Tricia Rose Yara ShahidiWebsite: Yara ShahidiTwitter: @YaraShahidiFacebook: @yarashahidiInstagram: @yarashahidi The Tight RopeWebsite: www.thetightropepodcast.comInstagram: @thetightropepodTwitter: @thetightropepodFacebook: The Tight Rope Pod This episode was produced and managed by Spkerbox Media in collaboration with Podcast Laundry

The daughter of Alice Walker, who wrote the African-American classic The Color Purple, and Melvyn Leventhal, a Jewish civil rights lawyer, Rebecca Walker’s intersecting and sometimes jarring identities were the foundation of her career. In 1992, her article for Ms Magazine ‘I am the Third Wave’ crystallised her thinking around feminism and activism. Its massive success spurred on her work: she established the Third Wave Fund to support young women from diverse backgrounds to pursue activism and leadership. Multiple memoirs, essay collections and a novel followed. Rebecca’s work has always been a response to her personal situation, be it family, identity, becoming a mother, masculinity, race, Buddhism, or a combination of all of these, and she has developed a strong and compelling ethos about what it means to live a feminist life in an ever-changing world. This episode of It's a Long Story is hosted by Edwina Throsby. Show notes 'I am the Third Wave' article Rebecca Walker on beauty as resistance On Third Wave feminism Rebecca Walker's bibliography
