035 | The Power of Community Foundations with Julian A. Pierce

Join us for an enlightening conversation with our guest Julian Pierce, the Director of Economic Opportunity at the Fairfield County Community Foundation in Connecticut. Julian shares his journey from his high school days as a student-athlete to his current role focused on equitable housing, homelessness, adult workforce development, and small business entrepreneurship. Listen in as he reflects on the external and internal factors, such as his grandmother's influence, that led him to pursue his passions and give back to his community.

As we wrapped up this thought-provoking episode, we explored the possibilities for Julian's career, discussing potential paths in philanthropy, financial institutions, and nonprofit leadership. Julian shared his personal philosophy of returning resources to the people who built them and how he looks for ways to inject equity into financial institutions.

We are truly grateful for the opportunity to learn from Julian Pierce, an incredible individual who has overcome adversity and continues to impact his community positively.
