Is Less More? In this interview philanthropic leader Ben Cameron discusses NCAR findings that show an increase in programmatic offerings with a corresponding decline in individual touch points among some sectors. Take a listen as he and NCAR Director Zannie Voss discuss the impact of funding that supports the brilliant thinking of grantees rather than funder prescribed courses of action.
