The new power of philanthropy
Henry Timms
Henry Timms, President & CEO of the Lincoln Center, on how generosity supercharges democracy and what that means for all of us.
“As we think about philanthropy, we hear a lot of people talking about spending down endowments. But are we prepared to talk about how we spend down our power? … not just to say we want to empower people, but think about how we ourselves become less powerful.”
