27. A Good Philanthropist Fireside Chat with Ross McKnight

We Are For Good Podcast - The Podcast for Nonprofits

Meet Ross. His thick Texas drawl and easy kindness will immediately put you at ease as we chat with this generous philanthropist. The self-professed big dreamer has a pure heart for giving, and is using his savvy know-how to inspire extraordinary generosity in others. He'll share how a $25M gift he and wife Billie made to their alma mater Oklahoma State University infused an arts Mecca in the middle of the Heartland (& flying the entire NY Philharmonic to Oklahoma!) and how the kindness of one frontline staff member inspired a $10M gift to name a cancer center in her honor at Baylor Scott & White Health. We're getting cozy during this Fireside Chat with a philanthropic legend. It's an inspiring story of how seeds of gratitude can grow early and how storytelling can pull it all together.

The We Are For Good Podcast welcomes the most dynamic nonprofit leaders, advocates and philanthropists to share innovative ideas and lessons learned. For more information and episode details visit: https://www.weareforgood.com/episode/27
