Our latest blog post, “Sustainability is Not Eno

Our latest blog post, “Sustainability is Not Enough: from Stewardship to Reciprocity” is an excerpt of a speech given by the wonderful Roger Milliken, JEI alum and board chair of the Baskaghegan Company in Maine.

In it, he reflects on his experience caring for 150,000 acres of forest in Maine and explores the conflicts between a thriving forest—and society—and the traditional practice of forest management.

He describes the tensions experienced by those who are called to care for the region’s forests in this time of high stakes and difficult choices, and invites us to confront the conflicts between seeing the forest as resources for our use or recognizing it as a community to which we belong.

In her latest piece in @insidephilanthropy #JEI Ex

In her latest piece in @insidephilanthropy #JEI Executive Director Deb Nelson asks the question, “What does it look like to truly shift power in philanthropy?” and offers three powerful examples from the JEI community of #financialactivists. She writes, "Trust-based philanthropy starts to get at the need to shift control of money and power from those who have traditionally held it to those who haven’t. But the power-shifting solutions that get at the root of systemic problems are coming from distinct groups working in collaboration as equals."
