The People’s Money | Glen Galaich, CEO of The Stupski Foundation
To hear Glen Galaich tell it, the $365 million he’s charged with giving away can’t be gone fast enough.
Listen in as he shares about his role as CEO of The Stupski Foundation, a spend-down foundation whose wealth was built by the longtime president and COO of Charles Schwab, Larry Stupski.
Glen guides a team that is quickly but carefully giving away the entire fortune left by Larry and his wife, Joyce, to causes and communities that mattered to them.
Glen asks himself every day whether he can do better with this money than those who are waiting for it. Usually, he says, the answer is “No” and so out it goes.
“This is not our money, it’s not anyone’s money,” Glen reminds himself and others. “It’s the people’s money.”
We also talk soccer, TikTok, Ted Lasso, and food justice … and we licked our spoons clean enjoying @kubé ice cream made by a black woman owned shop just across the Bay in Oakland.
