I'm fortunate to get to work with amazing humans like Joann Lee Wagner, who works diligently to create and reinforce a culture at @commonfutureco that priorities the needs of folks within our organization: medium.com/commonfuture/p…

Excited to share my conversation w the amazing Courtney Martin for #SolversPod, a podcast by Skoll Foundation & Aspen Ideas. We discuss the generational work to build racial justice & an inclusive economy and navigating #philanthropy as a Black leader: skoll.org/2021/04/21/sol…

Really looking forward to this conversation w/the brilliant Cathy Clark #impinv & connecting w/ the CASE at Duke community.

Great TriplePundit piece by my @commonfutureco colleague Lauren Paul on the need for a #WhiteHouse Initiative for Inclusive Economic Growth focused on community investing & stakeholder capitalism: triplepundit.com/story/2021/inc… US #Impinv Alliance B Lab @ABLImpact Denise Hearn (@denisehearn.bsky)

Congrats to my dear friend and brilliant leader Sonal Shah & The Asian American Foundation Team for this important investment in our community! I look forward to supporting the work you’ll be doing! #AAPIHeritageMonth #AAPIMonth #AAPI

Wow! Congratulations for getting this off the ground Sonal Shah- I am excited for your leadership.

.Fagan Harris is an innovator whose energy and vision has remade career opportunities for underestimated communities in his hometown of Baltimore. Now the country can benefit from his leadership. Congratulations on being nominated to the Board of Directors of AmeriCorps.

Do yourself a favor and follow Reparations Daily (ish) and Trevor Smith.

I’m honored @CommonFutureco has been selected as a 2022 Skoll Foundation Awardee for Social Innovation alongside stellar organizations Financing Alliance for Health, MapBiomas, NDN Collective, Noora Health & NOSSAS. Congrats to our fellow #SkollAwardees! skoll.org/2022/04/04/sko… #SkollWF

I'm excited to (finally!) announce the combination of @commonfutureco and Uncharted. I'm awestruck by the collective dedication, talent, humility, and creativity of the "new" Common Future. Kudos to my friend Banks Benitez for his tireless, courageous, and inspired leadership.

Philanthropy has long played a critical role in America. But what is our role moving forward? How can philanthropy drive more fundamental and lasting change? I’ll join jen ford reedy, Rodney D. Foxworth and Jane Wales explore these questions and more at the #AspenIdeas Festival today.


Turning to our latest magazine issue, Rodney D. Foxworth analyzes how nonprofit institutions can become economic entities that redistribute power to communities, rather than concentrating power & charity: bit.ly/3PEeG5v @commonfutureco Nonprofit Finance Fund #nonprofits #BIPOC

Looking forward to this conversation with Bulbul Gupta!

Over the moon about the combination of @commonfutureco + @affordcredit. @sandhyanakhasi & Ryan Glasgo are two of the most incredible and sincere leaders I’ve ever encountered. Honored to be able to call them and the rest of the @affordcredit team colleagues!

Some math: Sequoia invested $800MM into Musk’s Twitter acquisition & $200MM into FTX, before marking it down to $0. Musk says Twitter bankruptcy is possible. $1bn could evaporate. I thought only governments & nonprofits were this inefficient w/ $$$. oscar perry abello

Elon: “I am really working the absolute most amount that I can work from morning to night, 7 days a week.” Huh. I think he’s solved the underpaid nonprofit executive problem—let nonprofit leaders work multiple CEO jobs at once & get paid for all of them. wsj.com/articles/tesla…

Contrasting this great social #impinv mirage piece by @amanda_levinson & @nfreidus (ssir.org/articles/entry…) to Sequoia Capital's LP memo re its $200MM write-down of #FTX (it was *only* 2% of that specific fund) & seeing a direct connection. Just me?


I’m excited for @commonfutureco’s next chapter and honored to have had the opportunity to lead this wonderful organization the past nearly 6 years. Can’t wait to see what the leadership of Jessica Feingold, @sandhyanakhasi, & Jennifer Njuguna will bring!

.Rodney D. Foxworth steps down as CEO of @commonfutureco, but he's not slowing down. What might he have in store with his new venture, Worthmore?bit.ly/43rPB4B
