In the podcast, she shares how her path began with community work focused on families and children, and how that work grew through her board service and her family&#8217;s foundation. One idea has shaped much of her work: communities know what communities need. That shows up in her support for organizations overseas, as well as in her family\u2019s support for arts access for young people at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sarahschoolofmusic.com\" rel=\"nofollow\">Sarah McLachlan School of Music<\/a>, in Vancouver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A key part of the conversation is the idea of \u201cenoughness\u201d: asking what wealthy families truly need, what they want to leave behind, and what capital they can move now. Lisa explains how that reflection can help open up more funding for organizations working on climate change, Indigenous-led solutions, women\u2019s leadership, and community-led change, while also challenging funders to think differently about power, legacy, accountability and trust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Get the podcast on <strong class=\"myprefix-text-bold\"><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/TJLzkjhFL74\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">YouTube<\/a><\/strong> or listen on <strong class=\"myprefix-text-bold\"><a href=\"https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/lisa-wolverton-on-family-philanthropy-forward-global\/id1801197310?i=1000767762387\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Apple Podcasts<\/a><\/strong> or <strong class=\"myprefix-text-bold\"><a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/episode\/0SsJpFgJ0idRvCkqvleE0D?si=b7B5vrycSbiMcht6ebM4OQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Spotify<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lisa is also Director of the Wolverton Foundation.
