A recent history of thinking<\/h3>\n
These materials also offer a window into the evolution of thought on nonprofit talent during the last 15 years or so. Some of these ideas we have informed and been folded into Fund the People\u2019s framework; others we are challenging. This reading list can be used in a variety of ways by you and your foundation or nonprofit organization to continue to build your knowledge and understanding of talent-investing.<\/p>\n
For each reading, we have provided a link.<\/p>\n
Themes across the readings<\/h3>\n
Overall, this reading list addresses four inter-locking themes that, taken together, inform the Fund the People framework.<\/p>\n
