Jennifer McCrea: Infusing money with values
/
Jennifer McCrea, a leader in philanthropy, discusses how she’s learned to put shared values at the center of fundraising; money is the “gas in the car,” not the car, driver, or destination. Her question is always “what are we going to do together?” not “what are you going to do for me?”
Jennifer McCrea is a Senior Research Fellow at the Hauser Institute for Civil Society at Harvard University and the co-founder and CEO of Born Free Africa, an initiative of the Millennium Development Goals Health Alliance that brings private sector resources and expertise to the goal of eradicating mother-to-child transmission of HIV by 2015. For the past 27 years, she has partnered with philanthropists, board members and nonprofit leaders to think more creatively and collaboratively about ways in which to align strategic direction and resources.
