None of Us Builds Anything Lasting Alone
From behind the scenes to the front of the room.
I asked Ericson E. Brickers of The Brickers Foundation what has helped him move forward most, and what his greatest challenge has been.
His challenge was putting himself forward. Always a team player, he was more comfortable behind the scenes, so having a foundation carry his name was a significant step. For him, the mission matters more than the man.
Yet he has been brought to the forefront, and is energised to see people gravitating towards the mission: building community and ensuring nonprofits receive the recognition they deserve. What sustains him is his faith, which has carried him since he took that first step in 2018, and a strong circle of family, friends and supporters to test ideas with.
Philanthropy, like wealth, endures when it is built on purpose and supported by the right people.
