    Rewind: Ep 11: On The Table

    Thanksgiving is a time to gather around the dinner table. During particularly divisive moments, we may ask ourselves how we can use this time to come together. In this spirit, we are taking a look back at a special episode we did last year where we heard voices from residents of Charlotte, NC doing just that.

    Ep 44: Heart of Service

    What is a clue to a successful mission? One clue is that your nonprofit is so impactful, that it inspires the beneficiaries to come back and work. This is a common story at the Boys & Girls Clubs of America. In this episode, former Club kids London Reeves and Shyah Dickerson talk abut the influence of their Club experiences and why it's important to have voices like theirs in the corporate office.

    Ep 43: They Need to Know

    Ep 43: They Need to Know

    Do we have a right to clean air and water, a stable climate, and a healthy environment? It turns out that we don't, unless it's specifically written into your state's Bill of Rights (like it is in Pennsylvania and Montana). Maya van Rossum is trying to change that by fighting for environmental protections with constitutional law.

    Listen to Maya and her friend and community advocate, Kate Stauffer, talk about this movement for the Green Amendment, the importance of community, and what it means to use and tell other people's stories for the cause.

    Ep 40: There Has to be Trust

    With over 1.5 million nonprofits America, it's not surprising that many of them do similar work. There has been a push within the nonprofit sector for more collaboration and partnership, but what about taking that a step further? Holly Ivel and Gabe Cohen (both formerly of GuideStar) talk about the merge between GuideStar and Foundation Center into one nonprofit called Candid. They discuss the ups and downs of merging and what that process has looked like to them.
