JEI’s emphasis on the “inner work” provided an anchor, helped me make sense of, and strengthened the link to my “outer work.” JEI, Paicines Ranch, the advisors and the Fellows are a centering force in my life. They are not only my community, but my home.

Nonprofit Finance FundAs I’ve moved from leading a spend–out foundation to working with movement finance intermediaries, funder organizers, and community-governed investment funds, I’ve witnessed the continued deepening, powerful community learning, and possibilities that come from being connected with the JEI community. I’m grateful to JEI for keeping the fires stoked on full systems change right in the center of our economies.
