Episode 6, Season 2 | Featuring Regine Webster


In the episode, we are joined by Regine Webster. Regine is a philanthropic consultant, guiding foundations to create sustainable and equitable impact. She was the founding executive director and vice president of the Center for Disaster Philanthropy, an organization aimed at transforming disaster-related giving worldwide. A trusted voice in the sector, Regine has worked to develop the field of disaster philanthropy over the past twenty years.
