Rother believes the growing response has something to do with seeing more clearly where the money goes. Over the past several years, The Foundation changed the emphasis of its communications. “We’ve changed the whole format and focus of our annual report and member communication. Four years ago, you would have seen a bunch of members having a lot of fun and going to concerts. Now you’ll see the charities supported, the positive impact of the foundation and our three pillars highlighted.”
