In this segment of The Charlie James Show, host Charlie James interviews former South Carolina Congressman and current Senate candidate Mark Sanford. Sanford outlines his primary motivation for entering the Senate race: addressing the growing federal deficit and advocating for fiscal responsibility to protect future generations. Reflecting on his tenure as governor, he highlights his track record of spending restraint, including establishing the MAP Commission to identify government inefficiencies, such as redundant procurement in military supplies. Sanford discusses budget reform strategies, expressing support for "The One Big Beautiful Bill" as a mechanism to decentralize power and return funding to local levels and individuals. He also re-evaluates his previous "Penny Plan" proposal while endorsing Switzerland's "debt brake" model, which caps government spending based on economic cycles to build reserves during prosperous times. Additionally, Sanford expresses support for the SAVE America Act, criticizes voter ID inconsistencies, and advocates reforming the Senate filibuster back to its traditional "talking" format.

Send us Fan MailA Nonprofit's equity strategy becomes meaningful when it changes how an organization budgets, hires, evaluates performance, develops policy, and serves its community. Bernardo J. Ruiz of Bridging International explains how to embed equity in nonprofit operations amid political pressure, funding risk, and organizational fatigue. This fresh conversation offers a clear operating principle: lasting equity requires leadership courage, adequate resources, assigned ownership, and measurable institutional change! Many nonprofits have issued statements, held training sessions, and hosted thoughtful conversations. But Bernardo warns that these efforts can fade when no one owns the implementation, funding disappears, or leadership treats equity as separate from everyday operations. “Equity must be baked into the walls of the organization,” he explains. That means incorporating it into strategic plans, policy development, job descriptions, compensation, performance management, program design, and leadership accountability. Without those operating structures, even well-intended initiatives can remain trapped in binders, websites, or annual presentations.Drawing from his experience with Seattle Public Schools, Bernardo describes how an equity policy was activated across 101 schools serving approximately 65,000 students. The system used televised board meetings, school-level conversations, internal equity teams, and recurring decision-making tools to keep the policy visible and connected to daily work. The discussion also examines how nonprofits can sustain their commitments when public language creates political or financial risk. Bernardo shares how some organizations have shifted from external messaging toward internal systems that address health disparities, access barriers, workplace culture, and service outcomes. Rather than measuring success by the number of conversations held, nonprofit leaders should ask what will be visibly different three to five years from now. “How is the organization going to change to better serve their people and the clients coming into their care?” Bernardo asks. Key Takeaways:• Equity must be incorporated into budgets, strategic plans, job descriptions, compensation, and performance systems.• Every initiative needs accountable owners with the authority and resources to implement it.• Training without structural change may produce temporary progress followed by organizational regression.• Seattle Public Schools activated its policy across 101 schools serving about 65,000 students.• Internal systems can continue advancing equitable outcomes even when public terminology creates funding risks.• Leaders should define the organizational outcomes they expect to see within three to five years.00:00:00 Equity That Moves Nonprofit Systems00:02:41 What Equity Actually Means00:06:04 Moving Beyond Statements and Training00:07:00 Embedding Equity Into Organizational Operations00:09:54 How Seattle Public Schools Activated Policy00:13:24 Why Targeted Strategies Can Benefit Everyone00:16:12 Why Nonprofit Equity Initiatives Fall Flat00:18:40 Responding to Political and Funding Pressure00:22:26 Measurable Change Versus Performative Campaigns00:24:20 Leadership, Budgeting, and Equity Fatigue00:28:05 Building Stronger Institutions From Within#DEIB #NonprofitEquity #TheNonprofitShowFind us Live daily on YouTube!Find us  Live daily on LinkedIn!Find us Live daily on X: @Nonprofit_ShowOur national co-hosts and amazing guests discuss management, money and missions of nonprofits!  12:30pm ET   11:30am CT  10:30am MT  9:30am PTSend us your ideas for Show Guests or Topics: HelpDesk@AmericanNonprofitAcademy.comVisit us on the web:The Nonprofit Show

California currently ranks 33rd nationally when it comes to per capita investment in its state arts agency.  In late June, Governor Gavin Newsom signed off on a new state budget for the 2026/2027 Fiscal Year. That budget doesn't include funding for California cultural districts. Nevada County has two cultural districts - Grass Valley-Nevada City and Truckee - a rare feat for a rural county. Nevada County Arts and Culture, an arts service organization tasked with supporting local arts and artists, has launched a Cultural District Resilience Fund to limit the impact of this lack in state funding. KVMR News speaks with Nevada County Arts and Culture Executive Director Eliza Tudor.

With the August 4th primary bearing down, Missouri Governor Mike Kehoe joins the Marc Cox Morning Show to make his case directly to voters. Kehoe blasts the flood of out-of-state liberal money pouring into Missouri to defeat Amendment 4, calling it a fight to keep the state constitution from being bought by coastal special interests, while touting overwhelming grassroots support from Missouri agriculture. He makes an equally passionate pitch for Amendment 5, framing the elimination of Missouri's income tax as the key to reversing population loss and competing with no-tax states like Texas and Tennessee. Kehoe also addresses a listener-driven question on Senate Bill 1002 moving St. Charles County school board elections to November, defends his administration's guardrails on data center growth, and stands firmly behind his budget cuts — insisting Missouri has a spending problem, not a revenue problem. It's a wide-ranging, must-listen conversation for anyone voting this August, delivered with the conservative, common-sense clarity the Marc Cox Morning Show audience trusts. Coming up: Derek Morgan of Heritage joins later this hour, plus Jimmy Phelan.

Former State Senator John Lamping joins Marc to unpack the growing scandal around ex-Governor Mike Parson, whose 50-plus personal flights on the state plane — including over 50 trips home in his final two years — are now drawing scrutiny from Auditor Scott Fitzpatrick. Lamping doesn't hold back, tying Parson's fiscal complacency directly to the budget crunch Governor Kehoe now has to clean up, including nearly half a billion dollars in held-back spending. Then the conversation turns to Amendment 5, and Lamping lays out the honest math on Missouri's income tax elimination: producers and taxpayers win, but he's blunt that the legislature has failed to properly sell it to voters. Marc closes with a full-throated endorsement, urging listeners to visit 971talk.com for the voter guide before the primary. This is the kind of no-spin, pro-taxpayer analysis you only get on The Marc Cox Morning Show.

I sat down with my friend Glennda Testone, CEO of the Nonprofit Leadership Lab, to talk about what we're both seeing across the sector right now: burnout, funding uncertainty, increasing demand for services, and nonprofit leaders trying to do more with less.It's easy to get caught up in the anxiety of the moment, but one thing became crystal clear in our conversation: the organizations that will weather this season best are the ones investing in relationships.We talked about why individual donors matter more than ever, the risks of relying too heavily on grants and government funding, and why fundraising is ultimately about human connection not transactions.We also got into some hot takes on galas, donor behavior, AI, and what nonprofit leaders should be focusing on when everything feels uncertain.If you've been wondering how to navigate the current fundraising landscape, I think you'll find this conversation both grounding and encouraging.Important Links:Nonprofit Leadership Lab: https://nonprofitleadershiplab.com/?wickedsource=google&wickedid=Cj0KCQjw0JnRBhDJARIsALobnXYMR6sg7UyNnriy98C0t1QkwFu8XqFOpgP5qXL4hJB-Ly5wREp22jYaAlXLEALw_wcB&w_adid=733701107251&w_campaignid=22263756844&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=22263756844&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=22263756844&gclid=Cj0KCQjw0JnRBhDJARIsALobnXYMR6sg7UyNnriy98C0t1QkwFu8XqFOpgP5qXL4hJB-Ly5wREp22jYaAlXLEALw_wcB My Newsletter: ⁠https://www.rheawong.com/⁠My Quiz: https://bit.ly/4vDEBjl
