AFN’s Members Making Impact: Case Studies for Change & Innovation is a series that spotlights peer-driven investment strategies fueling systemic and policy change across AFN’s eight focus areas.

AFN member Charles Schwab Bank (CSB) understands that community perspectives are key to creating philanthropic and asset-building strategies that are inclusive, responsive, and genuinely impactful. Moving beyond prescriptive funding models, CSB is embracing responsive grantmaking that prioritizes the voices of those closest to the issues. They recognize that listening is fundamental to creating economic mobility and that those living with these challenges are often best positioned to identify effective solutions. But how can a foundation or asset funder
implement these solutions without starting from scratch in developing the concepts and process? For CSB, that is
where Listen4Good comes in.
