Ask, Listen, Act: A New Model for Philanthropy is a moving examination of poverty, its root causes, and how to end it through movement-building—from the perspective of a groundbreaking philanthropy executive, the founding President and CEO of the Marguerite Casey Foundation, Luz Vega-Marquis.
In her book, Luz offers a history of the foundation, intertwined with her own history as a Nicaraguan immigrant whose family was exiled, plunged into poverty, and forced to start over in the United States. Ask, Listen, Act is riveting in its description of the evolution of an iconoclastic foundation and of Vega-Marquis herself as she evolves from a bookkeeper to become the first Latina to lead a major national foundation.
