Strategic Lifespan Peer Network: Supporting Social Movements: How a Spend Down Foundation Can Make a More Impactful Difference
What caused the Mortimer & Mimi Levitt Foundation to move from gifting six to eight percent of their total assets annually, to a decision to spend down its $150M in assets by 2041?
What impact do they hope to make during that time?
Join us for a conversation with Sharon Yazowski, CEO, and Vanessa Silberman, Executive Vice President on the process and thinking that led to this decision—from the quadrupling of the foundation’s assets when founder Mimi Levitt passed away in 2019, to the effects of 2020 on their outlook.
We will also hear more on the lasting impact they hope to have on the communities they serve as they dedicate $150 million to build community through music across the country.
