Spear’s Review
Nicola Johnson is chief customer officer at Stewardship, a Christian philanthropy advisory firm.
An innovative and collaborative thinker and leader, Johnson has publicly called for greater use of vehicles such as donor advised funds, a wrapper for individual giving with less of an administrative burden than a trust or foundation, and which simplifies the process of supporting good causes. She seeks to guide philanthropists with ‘expertise and authenticity’.
Johnson is a member of Philanthropy Impact, an organisation dedicated to making giving more effective.
