In this half-hour conversation, Nebraska Community Foundation president and CEO Jeff Yost discusses NCF’s unique approach to community building. Not your typical charitable foundation, NCF believes that community development philanthropy is more than just grantmaking and donor-directed gifts. It is all about actively engaging the only people who can build and sustain local communities: the people who live and work there. 

Jeff, and community development pioneers, John McKnight and Peter Block, explore different ways neighborhoods, communities and local organizations can organize and manage economic and social assets to support places where people want to live, raise families, do business, work and enjoy the good life.
