Leadership, Purpose, and Philanthropy: Todd Sukol on the Power of Thoughtful Giving on “Date Your Donors” Podcast

Mayberg Foundation Executive Director Todd Sukol joins Altruicity President Jonah Halper on the "Date Your Donors" podcast to reflect on his unplanned journey from journalism to philanthropy, his years leading the Koby Mandell Foundation, and how personal tragedy and spiritual growth shaped his leadership philosophy. Todd opens up about what it really means to “date your donors” by showing up first and foremost as a human being, and shares the Mayberg Foundation’s commitment to authentic, values-driven Jewish education across the spectrum of observance.

Hear Todd's candid reflections on failure, impact, the evolving role of Israel in Jewish philanthropy, and why the question “What are you trying to accomplish?” is at the heart of every great funding decision. This episode is a masterclass in thoughtful giving, leadership with integrity, and staying grounded in purpose—even when the path ahead isn’t clear.
