As a CEO of a growing nonprofit, a key challenge for most leaders is to find mentors and strategic thought partners to provide guidance during pivotal moments in an organization. I have been very fortunate to work with Rinaldo Brutoco and his team for more than 10 years. His guidance and insight has enabled me to grow as a leader and exponentially grow the organization – impacting over 500,000 men, women, and children with education and life-saving services. Rinaldo is my hero, and his support has been invaluable to me and to the results we’ve been able to create over the last decade.
Incubating Innovation, Catalyzing Consciousness
The Academy could not continue its work without the ongoing contribution of wisdom, experience, and philanthropic/institutional resources by our longtime donors, colleagues, and Academy Fellows.
Help us continue our mission of incubating initiatives and creating collaborative relationships to build a more equitable, just and livable planet. We are seeking support and partnership in a wide range of unique and vital projects, ranging from a clean energy land stewardship demonstration in Northern California to local partnerships at UCSB & Isla Vista to build a net-zero economy by 2030. By creating comprehensive solutions addressing multiple needs, California, the United States and the world can be shown the path towards a better future.
