Barron’s Magazine: 25 Most Impactful Philanthropists
Jerry Hirsch of the Lodestar Foundation for Barron’s Magazine’s 25 Most Impactful Philanthropists of 2010. Photographed at his Phoenix, Arizona office in November.
Excerpt from the article at barrons.com:
Former real-estate developer Hirsch was distressed to find in philanthropy the same kinds of problems he’d seen in business: big egos and territorial instincts. So he made it his business to encourage nonprofits to work together to magnify their results. There have been plenty of opportunities for that amid the proliferation of foundations in recent years; Hirsch has overseen mergers of everything from homeless groups to wrestling museums. Says he: “Everyone is good-hearted; sometimes you just need an outside party to get them all on the same page.”
RECENT COUP: Helped spark a historic merger of the United Nations Association of the USA (Eleanor Roosevelt was an early champion) with the United Nations Foundation (Ted Turner started it in 1998 with a $1 billion gift).
Top 100 Financial Advisors for Barron’s Magazine, Deeann Griebel
I have some work published in Barron’s Magazine this month. In late May, I photographed financial advisor Deeann Griebel here in Arizona for a feature on the Top 100 Financial Advisors in the United States. Deeann was a really interesting person to work with because her of her wealth of experience advising CEO’s of major corporations.
Of course I had to ask her during the shoot about her thoughts on investing for individuals in a difficult economy… her advice was pretty amazing “have a cash reserve at home, buy gold as an investment and plant a garden in your backyard to be self-sustainable”. A bit unsettling and unexpected… Just another day meeting interesting people.
