The Commons in Conversation with Stephen Heintz and Katie Loudin

As federal Washington burns with division and conflict, some grant makers are trying to repair the country’s social fabric by strengthening communities. The Chronicle's senior editor Drew Lindsay joined Rockefeller Brothers Fund president Stephen Heintz and Katie Loudin of the West Virginia Community Development Hub for a discussion of the year-old Trust for Civic Life, an unusual $30 million cross-ideological funder collaborative bankrolling homegrown initiatives. Heintz and Loudin share how their work bridging federal funding with philanthropy has resulted in stronger rural communities in West Virginia and beyond, and how the threats to federal funding are impacting rural communities like those Loudin supports in Appalachia. Members of the Trust include Rockfeller Brothers, the Carnegie Corporation, the Omidyar Network, the David and Lucile Packard Foundation, Stand Together, and Walmart. About the series: The Commons in Conversation is a series of exclusive, one-on-one conversations with national and local leaders working to strengthen a fractured America. Chronicle editors and writers will host individuals from across the country in casual lunchtime discussions about what it will take to bring Americans together. Guests will talk about ideas and promising solutions and how the philanthropic world — from major philanthropists to everyday nonprofit leaders — can contribute.
