#182 Funding Effective Campaigns with Michael Mantell, Founder of Resources Legacy Fund
Michael Mantell joins us in this rerun episode to recount amazing stories of how donors can fund successful campaigns and make a major difference on a specific issue. Michael explains the ways donors can engage in funder collaboration for maximum impact.
Episode Highlights:
- Pooling funds with other donors.
- How to fund effective campaigns.
- What to expect when there is a transition in leadership with the nonprofit organization you’re funding.
Michael Mantell Bio:
Michael Mantell founded Resources Legacy Fund (RLF) and Resources Law Group (RLG) in 2000 to expand the work he had begun in partnership with the Packard Foundation and as a consulting lawyer in the late 1990s. Before consulting for the foundation, Michael was Undersecretary of the California Natural Resources Agency (CNRA) from 1991 to mid-1997. He was recruited to that position from his post as general counsel for the World Wildlife Fund.
Prior to that, Michael had been a director of the Conservation Foundation and a deputy city attorney for the City of Los Angeles. Michael is known for innovating successful multi-stakeholder planning processes resulting in significant outcomes, particularly in the areas of natural resources conservation, urban open spaces, climate change, public funding, and engaging underserved communities. At CNRA, he saw the possibility to achieve greater outcomes by deploying simultaneous strategies to improve policy, refine regulations, acquire land and water rights, strengthen ocean protection, build capacity, and create networks but was stymied by tight budgets. Then he met Jeanne Sedgwick of the Packard Foundation.

#181 Trust-Based Philanthropy with John Esterle, the Co-Executive Director of the Whitman Institute and Co-Founder of Trust-Based Philanthropy
John Esterle joins us in this rerun episode to explore ways a foundation can incorporate elements of trust-based philanthropy within its giving strategy.
Episode Highlights:
- John’s journey in philanthropy.
- The evolution, steps, and key components of trust-based philanthropy.
- How foundations can incorporate trust-based philanthropy into their work.
- Building an ecosystem of trust between trustees, staff, and nonprofits.
John Esterle Bio:
John Esterle retired as Co-Executive Director of The Whitman Institute (TWI) in July 2022 when TWI, an independent foundation based in San Francisco, spent out all of its assets and ceased operations. TWI worked to advance social, political, and economic equity by funding dialogue, relationship building, and inclusive leadership. TWI also led in launching the Trust-Based Philanthropy Project in 2020, a five-year collaborative initiative to address the inherent power imbalances between foundations and nonprofits.
John began his career at TWI in 1988 and became its Executive Director in 1998. He later led its transition from an operating to a grantmaking foundation and its decision to sunset the foundation. A past board president of Philanthropy for Active Civic Engagement and the Rooftop PTA, he also served on The Germanacos Foundation, LeaderSpring, and Images and Voices of Hope boards. Currently, John is a board member of The Right Question Institute. Before joining TWI, his most notable job was directing a pilot project called Crime and the News Media, which featured a series of dialogues between journalists and advocates of alternatives to incarceration.
John received his B.A. in Liberal Arts from the Hutchins School of Interdisciplinary Studies at Sonoma State University and an M.A. in Broadcast Communication Arts from San Francisco State University.
