About Community Matters: This is my personal blog. It is not intended to reflect the views of any organization with which I’m affiliated – there are a lot of them. Some of my postings are quite serious, others are completely silly, most are somewhere in between.
Today, I run a foundation established by and for entrepreneurs which practices disruptive innovation in philanthropy, helps make nonprofits profitable and promotes entrepreneurship. And, I serve on other foundation & nonprofit boards and raise money for great causes & politicians (locally, statewide and nationally) – not as a professional, simply volunteer, because the right people make the right things happen in government and in our communities. Through our family fund (ABPorter.org) we produce plays, underwrite performance festivals and otherwise support art and conversation that build community.
I am married to Steven Robert Tomlinson. We were initially attracted to each other for many reasons, not the least because our communities, families and friends are most important. We are partners in every way.
