Partnering With Nonprofits, City Government, and Neighbors to Give Locally

Father-daughter duo Mike Bontrager and Stephanie Almanza join Phil Buchanan and Grace Nicolette to share their approach to building both for-profit and nonprofit ventures in their local community that are rooted in trust, partnership, and shared goals.

Mike offers insight into how he found success in the financial industry by putting trust ahead of profit and how that principle has informed his philanthropic and entrepreneurial ventures in his hometown of Kennett Square, Penn.

The two also discuss how they chose to invest locally and the way they work in partnership with other community nonprofits, city government, and their neighbors to help build a thriving community.

We appreciate the opportunity to share this podcast and want to note that the interview was conducted by Buchanan and Nicolette with no involvement from the Chronicle’s newsroom.
