At 19, she became a beneficiary of her family\u2019s wealth after her mother&#8217;s passing. As the PhilanthroThink Podcast hosts, Titilayo Adedeji and Jonathan Harline, spoke with her, they learned how she stepped into the responsibilities that come with inherited wealth &#8212; and how it wasn\u2019t easy to find her place. She remembers sitting across from financial advisors and thinking, \u201cThere has to be another way.\u201d She ended up moving in a new direction with her finances and her philanthropy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this episode, we explore how that shift led Annabelle to build Dragonfly Ventures, a family office focused on environmental health, human well-being and community-led solutions. She shares how her approach brings together impact investing, blended finance and trust-based philanthropy. From supporting community-led programs in the Arctic to rethinking how capital moves through systems, this conversation settles on one idea: money should be put to work in ways that support people and the places they live.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Watch the episode below, or listen on <a href=\"https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/another-way-annabelle-white-on-inheritance-and\/id1801197310?i=1000758416466\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Apple Podcasts<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/episode\/1xWdzAPQo8oGOhTUMkGMtV?si=A2syNUZYSy-6ZzAS-oOYtw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Spotify<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Another Way: Annabelle White on Inheritance and Putting Wealth to Work for Good\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/75rvMBSUrF4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Thank you to IG Private Wealth Management for a grant to make the \u201cPhilanthroThink Podcast\u201d series possible.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/carleton.us2.list-manage.com\/subscribe?u=ee6a06d4dd017c0dff1dafccd&amp;id=267a55b178\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">For updates, sign up for \u201cPANL Perspectives,\u201d the MPNL program\u2019s free monthly newsletter.<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Another Way: Annabelle White on Inheritance and Putting Wealth to Work for Good Annabelle White didn\u2019t set out to work in finance or philanthropy.
