What does it mean to build power, change systems, and create abundance? At the Minnesota Council of Nonprofits and Minnesota Council on Foundations Joint Conference earlier this month, Nexus CEO Repa Mekha had a thought-provoking conversation with Nick Tilsen, CEO of NDN Collective. Guided by facilitator Leah Lemm from MPR, they explored how they build power in their communities while navigating philanthropy and its power dynamics.
Repa and Nick’s conversation laid bare the hard work ahead and revealed what is possible when philanthropy takes risks and trusts in the authority and expertise of community-centered organizations. It was an honor to participate!
