    Leadership Transition at RDG

    We are pleased to announce long-time principals Clint Nessmith and Matt Chambers will be transitioning to leadership roles as founders Rob Radcliff and Mike Trubiano shift to Of Counsel status with the firm. Rob and Mike will remain involved with RDG on specific projects and consulting engagements as needed, but both are very excited about a less hectic schedule that allows them to spend more time with their families and pursue other interests. “This has been years in the mak

    POSITIONED TO WIN: How can communities organize to pursue federal funds and just about anything?

    By RDG Director of Innovation and Global Research Doug Radcliff As a result of the ongoing pandemic, we know governments at all levels are suffering financially. What is the federal government doing to help improve the climate? President Joe Biden has proposed one of the largest, “once-in-a-generation investments in America.” The American Jobs Plan includes over $2 trillion of federal money that would go to rebuilding schools, fighting climate change, restoring landmarks, tra

    Work From Home and Your Revenue

    By RDG Principal Clint Nessmith I hope all our readers are doing well! With mass-vaccinations occurring (my arm was incredibly sore!) I think we are finally seeing the light at the end of the pandemic tunnel. But is it just the end of the first “tunnel”? Speculation about the long-term impact of the pandemic has become a popular subject of late. Certainly, we won’t know for years what the full impact might be, but experts at McKinsey and Brookings, among many others, are alre

    RDG's INTERVIEW SERIES A Conversation with Dr. Anna Lebesch about Talent Development By RDG Principal Clint Nessmith Resource Development Group's relationship with JAXUSA Partnership dates back to the early 1990s when eventual RDG co-founder, Mike Trubiano, managed the first funding campaign for the organization that was then known as Cornerstone.

    Does the Rising Tide Really Lift Everyone’s Boat?

    These are truly unique times in which we are living: global pandemic, renewed focus on systemic racism and economic disparity, generational economic upheaval and the ensuing instability and uncertainty about our future.  It reminds me that many of our problems are not new and the solutions are long overdue.  Just today I read an article highlighting a report issued this past week titled, “White Supremacy as Pre-existing Condition: Eight Solutions to Ensure Economic Recovery R

    The COVID-19 Wake-Up Call – Is it all Bad?

    This week we are expanding our normal commentary on the intersection of life and economic development funding to look a bit more broadly at how our behavior impacts the world in which we live. Our interests span much more than raising money and with many of us trying to figure out the new normal, we are all searching for the positives that may come from this mess in which we currently find ourselves.

    Lotteries, Risk, and Infectious Diseases.

    By RDG Principal Beth Pulliam A few weeks ago, an organization known as Stop Predatory Gambling requested lottery betting to be immediately shut down in the US until at least 30 days after stimulus payments are received. Reported in the Wall Street Journal, the ARTICLE reminds us that humans like to take risks. Think about it: speeding, dating, stock trading, sitting underneath a tree hosting birds (current situation as I write this). If you are not convinced of our proclivit
