In this episode of Ordinary Heroes, Dr. Bernie Furshpan sits down with longtime friend and financial visionary Peter Klein, the driving force behind the Claire Freedlander Family Foundation. Together they unpack how grants can be treated as strategic investments rather than simple donations, explore the million‑dollar launch of HMTC’s Institute for Tolerance Training, and celebrate the impact of their Upstander Award—where high schoolers become modern-day heroes in lunchroom showdowns. Peter also shares insider tips on building a multigenerational “family mission statement” for lasting legacy gifts, weighs in on the future of philanthropy (spoiler: America’s generosity streak isn’t going anywhere), and offers a candid look at what keeps him up at night—from sticky inflation to the stubborn persistence of hate. Tune in for practical wisdom, uplifting stories, and a no‑nonsense roadmap for doing good that actually moves the needle.
