Description

Espresso Chats is a podcast from Commonfund Institute. Each episode is a short conversation — most run under twenty minutes — with a leader working on the problems nonprofit institutions actually face: board governance, endowment management, spending policy, and the investment decisions that follow from all three. Guests have come from NACUBO, BoardSource, NBOA, CASE, the Intentional Endowments Network, the Weingart Foundation, and community foundations in Ann Arbor and Brooklyn, alongside investment leaders from Commonfund OCIO and CF Private Equity. The through line is practical: what boards and investment committees are weighing right now, and what the people closest to those decisions have learned. See important disclosures (https://www.commonfund.org/important-disclosures).
