Jennifer Risher

Jennifer’s thought-provoking, personal story includes the voices of others in her demographic and explores the hidden impact of wealth on identity, relationships, and sense of place in the world. At a time when income inequality is a huge problem, our country’s economic system is broken, and money is still a taboo subject even among those closest to us, this engaging, introspective memoir is essential reading: a catalyst for conversation that demystifies wealth and inspires us to connect. She spoke with us about her and her husband's quick response to the people and organizations most affected by the social and economic effects of COVID by launching #HalfMyDAF at the beginning of the crisis. They offered matching grants to donors who pledged to grant out at least half of their donor-advised funds to help people right now, when they need it most.
