We sit down with Ben Collins , Philanthropy Advisor at the Community Foundation , to talk about the often-misunderstood world of charitable giving, legacy planning, and nonprofit matchmaking. Ben—a former pastor turned philanthropic strategist—shares how he helps donors solve real problems in their communities by connecting them with vetted, local nonprofits. His mission? Help people step outside their own “tribes” and give with clarity, confidence, and purpose.
