Redistributing Wealth, Rewriting Legacy
Reflections from JEI alum Susanna Penfield.
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 a result of being in the fellowship, I let so many things go. I have more space in my life to think, develop strategy and show up as my full self for my community. The JEI advisors, team and staff were so supportive of me and my gifts. I feel like I grew six inches taller.
