Making Good on a $50M Racial Justice Pledge

9/11. Stories about those for whom September 11 was a fork in the road are many. Gregg Bishop is the first changemaker I’ve met who reacted to that fateful day by leaving the corporate world for the nonprofit sector.

And aren’t we glad he did?!

This week’s episode gives us a peek into Gregg’s professional life, as Executive Director of the Brooklyn Social Justice Fund and philanthropic adviser to Joe and Clara Tsai, who have pledged $50 million to fuel social, racial, and economic justice efforts in NYC’s southernmost borough – among other game-changing giving.

He also shares with us about time working for the City of New York, his penchant for flying across country in the middle of the week to hit a concert for a band he loves, and the transformative nature of a good question.
