What if nonprofits didn’t have to scramble for funding every time a good opportunity appeared?In this episode of The Phoenix Pod, host Jovica Djurdjevic sits down with Rohit Padmanabhan, CFA, founder of Lotus Asset Management, to unpack why the Phoenix Club created an endowment and how it fundamentally changes the way the organization supports nonprofits.Rohit shares the thinking behind moving beyond one-off fundraising, the challenges of building an endowment from the ground up, and the guardrails required to protect capital while still putting it to work. Together, they explore how permanence, predictability, and disciplined stewardship allow the Phoenix Club to fund grants faster, partner more effectively with nonprofits, and build long-term community impact that outlasts any single board or donor.🎧 Topics: nonprofit funding, endowments, long-term capital strategy, stewardship, governance, community philanthropy, and sustainable grantmaking.GUEST:Rohit Padmanabhan, CFAFounder, Lotus Asset ManagementPast President, Phoenix Club of NashvilleCONNECT WITH PHOENIX CLUB:Website: phoenixclubofnashville.orgLinkedIn: The Phoenix Club of Nashville
