The Importance Of Recognizing And Embracing The Risks Of Philanthropy: Laurie Michaels is an individual philanthropist based in Aspen, CO. In 2012, she founded Open Road Alliance to provide critical funding to help nonprofits overcome unforeseen roadblocks, or to leverage unanticipated opportunities for impact. She has served on the board of the Aspen Community Foundation for twelve years, as board chair for the last four years, overseeing a collective impact initiative in the greater Roaring Fork valley. Until recently, she maintained a psychology practice in Aspen.
I sat down with Laurie this winter to talk about her approach to philanthropy and why she’s pushing for more transparency, speed and flexibility in donor-grantee relationships.
