    NonProfit NewsPod: Impact 100 Hits $500,000 Milestone!

    I would love to hear your thoughts on this episode. Please send me a text... In this NonProfit Podcast Network NewsPod, I sit down with Impact100 Greater Sacramento President Sarina Paulson, alongside leaders from U.S. Bank, to unpack one of the most exciting philanthropic stories in our region this year. What started as a hopeful push toward a $500,000 grant pool didn’t quite get there on reveal night—but this community wasn’t done. With 413 members rallying together, a powerful Match Me campaign, and last-minute leadership support from corporate partners and individual donors, Impact100 didn’t just get close… they crossed the finish line. Here’s what that means: A $500,000 grant pool to be distributed amongst 5 nonprofit organizationsThat means five $100,000 transformational grantsContinued momentum for one of the fastest-growing philanthropic movements in SacramentoWe also explore the deeper story behind the dollars—why collective giving works, how relationships drive impact, and why organizations like Impact100 are changing the way communities fund their future. With nearly $1.5 million invested into local nonprofits in just four years, this milestone is more than a number—it’s proof of what’s possible when people come together with purpose. 🔗 Learn more: Impact100 Greater Sacramento To learn more about the two organizations that rolled it over the top, you can find them in the links below.

    The Forgotten Generation: Granting Wishes for Seniors in Need

    I would love to hear your thoughts on this episode. Please send me a text... What if the power of a wish didn’t stop at childhood? In this episode, I sit down with Stephanie Berger, founder of Silver Wishes—an organization built on a simple but powerful idea: seniors deserve the same moments of hope, dignity, and joy that we so often create for children. But what I found most compelling in this conversation is that these aren’t bucket-list wishes. They’re real, immediate needs—things like fixing a car, restoring air conditioning, or providing mobility support. Small things on the surface… that completely change someone’s ability to live independently and with pride. Stephanie shares how this idea was born during COVID, inspired by her own family’s experience, and how it’s grown into a movement that’s quietly transforming lives across our community.  We also talk about what she calls the “dandelion effect”—how one fulfilled wish can ripple outward, inspiring others to step in and create even more impact. This is a conversation about empathy, about community, and about recognizing a population that too often goes unseen. To learn more about Silver Wishes you can visit the website https://silverwishes.org/. Or you can call  916-287-7172.  Thank you so much for listening to this nonprofit story!  We appreciate you.

With Big Day of Giving just days away, this final installment of the NewsPod series brings together the most important insights, strategies, and reminders to help donors, businesses, and nonprofits maximize their impact.

    ABLED: Building Pathways to Employment for Adults with Disabilities

    I would love to hear your thoughts on this episode. Please send me a text... In this episode, I'm speaking with Kara Green, co-founder and executive director of ABLED, alongside Kelsey Emmett, a participant whose journey captures exactly why this work matters. What began as a deeply personal mission to support Kara’s son Ben—who is on the autism spectrum—has grown into a thriving organization helping transition-age youth and young adults develop the skills needed for meaningful, independent employment. ABLED fills a critical gap. For individuals who are ready to work but need additional support to build stamina, confidence, and real-world experience, this program provides a structured pathway forward. Through job training, community partnerships, and hands-on opportunities like working at Sutter Health Park, clients gain both technical and emotional skills that prepare them for long-term success. From serving just five individuals to now supporting more than 50 clients annually, ABLED is proving that when people are given the right environment and support, they don’t just participate—they thrive. This conversation highlights not only the systems change needed in workforce development for people with disabilities, but also the human side of growth—confidence built, fears overcome, and futures reimagined. 💡 Why It Matters There’s a staggering reality at the center of this conversation: roughly 80% of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities are unemployed or underemployed.  ABLED is directly addressing that gap—creating a bridge between potential and opportunity. This episode is a reminder that inclusion isn’t just about access—it’s about preparation, belief, and building systems that actually work for people. ⏱️ Chapter Timestamps (YouTube-Friendly) 00:00 – Welcome + The Origin of ABLED  02:00 – From 5 Clients to 50+ Served  04:00 – The Gap Between School and Employment  06:00 – What “Graduation” Looks Like  08:00 – Real Work Experience: Sutter Health Park  10:00 – Community Partnerships + Collaborations  13:00 – Funding + Grassroots Support  15:00 – Big Vision: Scaling ABLED Nationwide  18:00 – Measuring Impact Beyond Data  21:00 – Confidence, Growth, and Breakthrough Moments  24:00 – Greatest Needs: Volunteers + Transportation  27:00 – Success Stories + Real Outcomes  30:00 – Beyond the Mission (Personal Side of Leadership)  33:00 – Closing Reflections + Community Impact Thank you so much for listening to this nonprofit story!  We appreciate you.

In this fourth installment of the Big Day of Giving NewsPod series, once again, I'm speaking with Kelly Siefkin to explore the evolving landscape of philanthropy—and what it means for donors and nonprofits alike. From trust-based giving and donor-advised funds to the rise of non-cash assets and younger donor engagement, we break down the trends shaping how people give today. We also tackle the real barriers that hold people back—perception, time, money, and complexity—and how Big Day of Giving is designed to remove them. Whether you’re a seasoned donor or just getting started, this conversation offers a clear and encouraging path to participation. Bottom line: philanthropy isn’t reserved for the few—it’s accessible to everyone, and Big Day of Giving makes it easier than ever to be part of something bigger.  Big Day of Giving is May 7th.

    Building Community Through Creativity: 60 Years of Blue Line Arts

    I would love to hear your thoughts on this episode. Please send me a text... In this episode, I'm talking with Mary Tess Mail, Executive Director of Blue Line Arts, to explore how a small, volunteer-driven art initiative from 1966 has grown into a cornerstone of arts and culture in the Roseville region. We talk about the organization’s evolution over six decades, its expanding role in public art and education, and how it’s meeting the needs of a rapidly growing community. From gallery exhibitions to murals, student programs to artist residencies, Blue Line Arts is proving that creativity isn’t just something you display—it’s something you build into the fabric of a community. What stands out most is their commitment to connection: connecting artists with collectors, students with opportunity, and communities with shared experiences through art. 💡 Why It Matters Arts organizations like Blue Line Arts don’t just showcase creativity—they create access. In a time when schools are still struggling to fully integrate arts education, and communities are rapidly changing, organizations like this become essential bridges. They introduce students to new possibilities, support local artists in building sustainable careers, and transform public spaces into shared cultural experiences. This episode highlights how intentional investment in the arts leads to stronger, more connected communities—and why that matters now more than ever.

    NonProfit NewsPod: BDOG's Philanthropy for Everyone - Inside the Impact Collaborative

    I would love to hear your thoughts on this episode. Please send me a text... In this third installment of our Big Day of Giving series with the Sacramento Region Community Foundation, I'm talking, once again, with Chief Philanthropy Officer Kelly Siefkin to explore one of the most exciting new opportunities in local giving: the Impact Collaborative. This episode breaks down how anyone—yes, anyone—can step into philanthropy through a simple, accessible model. For just $300 annually (or $25/month), individuals can join a giving circle that pools resources, builds knowledge, and empowers members to collectively decide where grant dollars go. We also dig into the broader concept of giving circles—how they work, why they’re growing in popularity, and how you can even start your own with friends, colleagues, or community groups. As Big Day of Giving approaches, this conversation highlights a powerful truth: philanthropy isn’t reserved for the few—it’s available to all of us. 💡 Why It Matters This episode reframes philanthropy as something inclusive, social, and learnable—not just transactional. The Impact Collaborative lowers the barrier to entry while increasing engagement, education, and community connection. It’s not just about giving—it’s about understanding where your dollars go and having a voice in the outcome.  For many, Big Day of Giving is the first step. The Impact Collaborative is how that step turns into a sustained journey.

    Saving Lives on Both Ends of the Leash: Inside RedRover’s Mission

    I would love to hear your thoughts on this episode. Please send me a text... In this episode, I sit down with Katie Campbell from RedRover to explore a critical but often overlooked reality—people in crisis may delay or avoid seeking safety because they can’t bring their pets with them. We unpack how RedRover is addressing this gap through emergency veterinary grants, domestic violence safe housing support, disaster response, and youth education programs. From wildfire deployments to quiet, behind-the-scenes grant work, this conversation reveals how compassion for animals directly impacts human safety and decision-making. What stood out most is this: protecting pets isn’t separate from protecting people—it’s deeply connected.  💡 Why It Matters Too often, systems designed to help people in crisis overlook one critical piece—their pets. When nearly all survivors say their decision to leave is influenced by whether their pet can come with them, this isn’t a niche issue—it’s a major barrier to safety. Organizations like RedRover aren’t just helping animals. They’re removing barriers, accelerating escape from dangerous situations, and preserving the emotional bonds that help people heal. This is what real, holistic support looks like.
