What happens when personal loss reshapes your professional purpose? In this powerful episode of Money to Give, Rick Peck sits down with Chris Schuler—a longtime fundraising leader turned venture philanthropy advocate—whose personal journey through grief became a catalyst for bold, outcome-oriented giving. After losing his father to brain cancer, Chris began to question the status quo in philanthropy. Were nonprofits truly delivering impact, or simply preserving themselves? Were donors being given honest, measurable insights into the outcomes they supported? And could philanthropy play a bigger role in solving—not just managing—our toughest challenges? From traditional fundraising to venture philanthropy, Chris shares how he’s redefining what donor partnership looks like—and what it takes to align passion with measurable progress.
