While action (lots of experience or knowledge about the mission is an indicator of passion, I pose that the candidate's understanding of the…

Wake-up Call For Nonprofits

Less than a decade ago, before the dramatic and sadly increasing disparity between "the haves" and "the have-nots" (now an issue in the presidential campaign), luxury brands typically dispersed their giving to a wide range of nonprofits: culture, education, health and a range of social service organizations all doing good in many creative and altruistic ways. The luxury brands that gave, a generous percentage of their marketing budgets did little to promote (many thought “tout”) their good…

Nonprofit Board Fiduciary Duty of Loyalty

"She was their landlord and she raised the rent," he said. "There's nothing illegal about that."   This is the attorney's response for his client facing federal prosecution for stealing or misappropriating federal dollars.  Not illegal?  Not a violation of the fiduciary duty of care (self-dealing and conflict of interest)?  I beg to strongly differ that, the list of harm the accused has done against her health…

LISC Brings “Heirs' Property” Relief to Under-Resourced Communities in Cincinnati and Cleveland

With a new $750,000 multiyear grant from the U.S. Bank Foundation Opportunity Fund, LISC will work with community-based organizations in Cincinnati and Cleveland to provide families with estate planning, legal support and financial counseling that can help clear up clouded property titles and preserve homes for future generations.

Cleveland Housing Investment Fund Launches with Initial $38M Commitment to Support Equitable, Affordable Housing

LISC Fund Management has teamed up with the City of Cleveland and KeyBank to launch a new affordable housing investment fund, with authorizing legislation approved last night by the Cleveland City Council. The fund ultimately seeks to invest $100 million to fuel quality affordable housing across the city, with a focus on serving underrepresented communities and stimulating growth.

A Look Forward, From 20 Years of Impact Investing

Broadstreet CEO Kevin Boes reflects on 20 years of the LISC affiliate's work as a New Market Tax Credit syndicator.

Looking ahead, Boes reiterates their commitment to scaling impact and creating just, healthy, and prosperous communities.
