Learn More >> About Your Host Have you seen Casino Royale? That moment when Vespa slides in elegantly, opposite James, all charming smile, razor-sharp wit and mighty brainpower, and says, "I'm the money"? Well, your host, Sarah Olivieri has been likened to Vespa by one of her clients – not just because she's charming, beautiful and brainy– but because that bold statement "I'm the money" was, as it turned out, right ON the money. Sarah helps nonprofits transform their organizations from failing to thriving. And she's very, very good at it. She's brought nonprofits back from the brink of insolvency. She's averted major cash-flow crises, solved funding droughts, board conflicts and everything in between… and so she has literally become "the money" for many of the organizations she works with. As the former director of 3 nonprofits and founder of 5 for-profit businesses, she understands, deeply, the challenges and complexities facing organizations and she's created a framework, called The Impact Method®️, which can help you simplify operations, build aligned teams and make a bigger impact without getting overwhelmed or burning out – and Every. Single. One. Of her clients that have implemented her methodologies have achieved the most incredible results. Sarah is also a #1 international bestselling author, holds a BA from the University of Chicago with a focus on globalization and its effect on marginalized cultures, and a master's degree in Humanistic and Multicultural Education from SUNY New Paltz.

What happens when you say “yes” to something that feels just a bit bigger than what you've done before? In this episode of All About Capital Campaigns, co-founder Amy Eisenstein takes the guest seat as Andrea Kihlstedt interviews her about stepping outside her comfort zone — preparing for and delivering a 35-minute keynote speech without notes in front of hundreds of peers. Amy shares how she built confidence through practice, coaching, and mastery — and how those same principles apply to fundraisers leading capital campaigns.Listeners will discover how Amy's experience parallels the journey nonprofit leaders take when launching their first campaign. From hiring a coach to working through self-doubt, Amy and Andrea connect lessons from public speaking to the art of donor solicitation. When fundraisers deeply understand their case and prepare thoroughly, they can let go of the script and build genuine, authentic relationships with donors.Amy also reveals how one client turned an initial “no” into a $2 million lead gift through consistent communication and trust—proof that persistence, relationship-building, and thoughtful follow-up are essential habits for campaign success. The episode closes with a candid moment when Amy forgot her place mid-speech and turned vulnerability into connection—an example of how authenticity strengthens both speaking and fundraising.Key takeaways include:Mastery through preparation: Why practice and coaching transform confidence and competence.Authentic connection: How knowing your material lets you focus on people, not notes.Daily donor engagement: How reaching out to one key prospect each day can dramatically improve results.Resilience and vulnerability: What to do when things don't go perfectly—and how those moments build trust.This conversation will inspire nonprofit professionals to stretch beyond their comfort zones, refine their skills, and embrace the mindset that confidence is built, not born. Whether you're preparing for your next major gift conversation or simply trying to deepen your donor relationships, Amy and Andrea's insights will help you approach your work with mastery and ease.

If you've ever wished your giving could be both simpler and more strategic, there's a powerful tool worth knowing about: the donor-advised fund, or DAF for short.Generosity isn't just about how much you give—it's about the heart behind it. As Paul reminds us in 2 Corinthians 9:7, “Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”Wise stewardship allows us to align our giving with God's purposes, using tools that help us maximize our Kingdom impact. A donor-advised fund—when used rightly—can help you do both: give joyfully and steward resources efficiently.What Is a Donor-Advised Fund?Think of a DAF as a charitable checking account designed to support the causes you care about. You contribute cash, stock, or other assets, receive an immediate tax deduction, and then recommend grants to ministries or charities on your timetable.In other words, it separates the act of giving from the act of distributing. You might contribute during a high-income year or before selling an asset to take advantage of tax benefits, while taking time to decide where those dollars should go prayerfully.Behind the scenes, your DAF is managed by a sponsoring organization. At FaithFi, we recommend the National Christian Foundation (NCF)—one of the largest and most trusted Christian providers, founded by Larry Burkett and Ron Blue. NCF handles the record-keeping, issues the grants, and provides online tools to manage your giving.Suppose you plan to sell a business or a piece of real estate that would normally result in a significant capital gain. By donating it to your donor-advised fund before the sale, you can avoid paying capital gains tax, allowing more of the donation to go directly to Kingdom purposes.You receive an immediate tax deduction for the full value of your gift since it's considered an irrevocable charitable contribution. The funds can be invested for potential growth while you prayerfully decide which ministries to support—or you can give immediately.When you're ready, you simply recommend a grant, such as $10,000, to your church or a mission organization. The DAF sponsor verifies the charity and then sends the gift—either in your name or anonymously.The Benefits of a Donor-Advised FundDonor-advised funds have become the fastest-growing vehicle for charitable giving in America, and for good reason. They combine flexibility, simplicity, and intentionality—all with a focus on Kingdom impact.Here are some of the key advantages:Simplicity – One contribution can fund all your charitable giving, with a single tax receipt and one dashboard to track every grant.Tax Efficiency – Receive your deduction when you contribute, not when you give. Donating appreciated assets can help avoid capital gains taxes, increasing the amount that goes to ministry.Flexibility – Give now and decide later where the funds should go, allowing generosity even as you discern where God is leading.Legacy Planning – Name successors—such as children or grandchildren—to carry on your legacy of generosity.Focus on Mission – Since the administration is handled for you, you can focus your energy on prayerfully deciding where to give.Important Limitations to ConsiderNo giving tool is perfect. Here are a few things to keep in mind:Irrevocability – Once you contribute to a DAF, it's a completed gift—you can't take the funds back.Qualified Recipients – Grants can only be made to IRS-approved charities, not individuals or political causes.Timing of Impact – Funds can remain in the account for years, which may delay charitable impact.At FaithFi, we encourage believers to use DAFs for timely generosity rather than indefinite storage. A DAF is meant to organize your giving, not to hold back what God has already called you to release.Why FaithFi Recommends NCFThere are many donor-advised fund providers—but not all share your faith commitments. That's why we recommend the National Christian Foundation (NCF).NCF doesn't just process gifts; they walk with donors in prayer and biblical wisdom. Their Giving Funds simplify generosity, reduce tax burdens, and amplify Kingdom impact. They can even accept complex, non-cash gifts, such as real estate, business interests, or agricultural assets.More importantly, NCF's team seeks to help every believer become a joyful, generous steward who advances the Gospel through wise giving.To learn more or to open your own Giving Fund, visit FaithFi.com/NCF. You can set up your fund in just minutes. And if you'd like a trusted financial advisor to guide you in the process, visit FindaCKA.com.At the end of the day, a donor-advised fund is just a tool—but in the hands of a faithful steward, it becomes a powerful way to partner with God in His work.When our giving flows from gratitude and trust, every dollar becomes a declaration: God owns it all, and we are His stewards.That's what it means to give with joy, wisdom, and eternal purpose.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:My husband was recently diagnosed with a serious health condition, and we're trying to decide whether it's wise to downsize our home. We currently owe about $198,000, but we're also looking at another house for $137,500. With today's interest rates, we could do a 15-, 20-, or 30-year loan. If my husband's income were to go away, would it be smarter to stay where we are or move to the smaller home with a lower payment?I'm 61 and wondering whether I should withdraw money from my 401(k) to pay off my car loan instead of taking out a new one. I've been looking at my budget and income, and I'm not sure if that's the best move. What do you think?My husband recently passed away. He had an IRA worth a little under $70,000, and I have one too. My financial advisor suggested that I roll his IRA into mine—can I do that, and would that be the best approach? Also, our home is in an irrevocable living trust. Am I allowed to sell it, or does it have to stay in the trust?Our term life insurance policy is set to expire soon. We could cash it out or roll it into a whole life policy, but we already have enough life insurance. With a child heading to college in about a year and a half, we're wondering if there's a smart way to put that money into savings for college without taking a big tax hit.Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)National Christian Foundation (NCF)Wisdom Over Wealth: 12 Lessons from Ecclesiastes on MoneyLook At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) or Certified Christian Financial Counselor (CertCFC)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions every workday at (800) 525-7000.

For the 231st episode of Private Parts Unknown, host Courtney Kocak welcomes author Ruthie Ackerman, whose new book The Mother Code traces her journey from proudly child-free to embracing motherhood later in life. In this interview, Ackerman opens up about questioning whether to have a baby, unpacking the generational and societal narratives that shaped her resistance to motherhood, and how she ultimately rewrote her story. We also dig into the cultural myths that make motherhood look unappealing, the marvel of science and genetics, Ruthie's fertility journey that culminated in the decision to use a donor egg, her fears about the situations that turned out not to come true, and the benefits of being an older mom. This conversation is a powerful reminder that there's no single “mother code”—each of us should write our own.

Nonprofits send more messages than ever, yet many still miss the moment that matters: the decision. The CEO and Co-Founder Kylee Ingram of Wizer Technologies explains how seven decision profiles can transform fundraising emails, stewardship notes, and board communications from “nice” to effective.  If donor retention, board alignment, and major-gift outreach are priorities this year, this episode gives you the evidence-based path to communicate the way your audience actually decides.Built from research originally advanced by Juliette Bourke (author of Which Two Heads Are Better Than One?), Wizer's framework maps the way people actually choose—across seven profiles: Achiever, Analyzer, Collaborator, Visionary, Explorer, Guardian, and Deliverer.As Kylee puts it, “What we've created is a program called Wize Snaps… it will look at your comms and then live replicate and tell you what's right and wrong about it—then generate a new email based on that person's decision profile.” The fix isn't creepy personalization (“How's your dog?”). Its decision-relevant signals and templates tuned to how people weigh evidence, risk, outcomes, process, and options. Inside organizations, keeping cognitive diversity matters, too; when teams mirror top leadership styles, innovation drops, and decision errors rise!Kylee also speaks to what's in the playbook for 2026: AI can shorten drafting time, but message-market fit still wins. “AI helps people write better… It's not helping you write the right message necessarily,” Kylee says. Her counsel: slow down, identify the decision profile, and then scale. Use visuals and A/B testing with intent: for some profiles, a results graph will outperform a cute animal photo; for others, a clear process step-down or risk-mitigation note unlocks action. Start inside your nonprofit—board and staff—so your culture and donor experience align. Wizer offers free full decision profiles for teams and boards, plus Wize Snaps to assess copy and suggest rewrites.#TheNonprofitShow #NonprofitMarketing #FundraisingStrategyFind 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

In this episode of All About Capital Campaigns, co-founder Andrea Kihlstedt is joined by fundraising expert and Capital Campaign Pro senior advisor Kent Stroman for a thoughtful conversation about how authentic, two-way communication can make major gift fundraising more natural and rewarding. Together, they explore how asking the right questions and truly listening can turn donor meetings from stressful transactions into meaningful partnerships.Kent shares insights from his book Asking About Asking and his work through The Asking Academy, where he teaches the principles of conversational fundraising. He and Andrea discuss how to shift from a mindset of "getting the gift" to one of helping donors make informed and heartfelt decisions that align with their values.Key takeaways include:How conversational fundraising differs from traditional asking methodsThe connection between Kent's 10 Step Staircase and Andrea's Arc of the AskHow to use questions such as “What would you like your gift to accomplish?” to inspire dialogueWhy quiet moments help donors think and respond more openlyWays to manage deadlines and expectations without creating pressureHow preparation builds confidence and calm before donor visitsWhy listening more than talking leads to deeper understanding and stronger relationshipsKent and Andrea also explore how empathy, curiosity, and genuine interest can replace anxiety with confidence. By focusing on purpose and shared goals, fundraisers can create experiences where donors feel valued and excited to give.This episode offers practical tools and examples for anyone involved in major gift fundraising, from nonprofit leaders to board members and campaign volunteers.Learn more about Kent Stroman's work at AskingAcademy.com.Explore additional free trainings and resources, including Andrea's Arc of the Ask, at CapitalCampaignPro.com.

Send us a textFrom Donor-Centric to Community-Centric: Building Equity Into Fundraising Most “best practices” put donors and boards at the top of the pyramid - and everyone else (staff, volunteers, service users) at the bottom.  In this episode of The Small Nonprofit Podcast, Maria Rio breaks down the shift from donor-centric to community-centric fundraising and why this change is key to building a more equitable nonprofit sector. Maria unpacks how covert white supremacy shows up in nonprofit culture, from “tone-policing” to donor hero narratives, and what it looks like to root those habits out in everyday fundraising. She also shares how fundraisers can start bringing donors into these conversations—challenging outdated ideas about overhead, pushing back on problematic donations, and transforming donors into real partners for justice. Maria shares the mindset, tools, and examples every fundraiser needs to move from good intentions to meaningful action—without burning out or compromising their values. Community-Centric Fundraising in Nonprofits - The Highlights: Why community-centric fundraising is more than a trend; it's a reimagining of how nonprofits build power and impact. The hidden ways white supremacy culture shows up in fundraising practices (and how to spot them). How to have respectful but firm conversations with donors about overhead, dignity, and equity. Why “no” can be the most ethical and mission-aligned answer to a donation. How to turn donors into true advocates and allies for systemic change. 

When fundraising meets humanity, transformation follows—and few express that better than Tammy Zonker, founder of Fundraising Transformed and author of Calling All Heroes. In this powerful episode, host Julia C. Patrick engages Tammy in a deep conversation about reimagining philanthropy through what she calls a human-centered mindset—a new evolution beyond donor- or community-centric models.Tammy explains, “The human-centered mindset is fundamentally about recognizing that everyone involved in the philanthropic process brings unique value—lived experience, expertise, and contribution—all of which deserve to be respected and valued.” That respect, she notes, comes alive through five principles: listening, empathy, belonging, shared values, and authentic partnership. Each principle is deceptively simple but radically powerful in a world that's become more divided and transactional.After 17 years leading Fundraising Transformed, Tammy has seen the shift from transactional giving toward connection-based relationships that sustain missions, not just budgets. Yet, she reminds us that even well-intentioned donor-centered models can reinforce inequity when organizations let large gifts steer mission or silence truth. “We never had the courage to course-correct because we feared losing the funding,” she says candidly—a line that will resonate with fundraisers everywhere.Her solution? Blend the best of both approaches. Donor-centered fundraising taught gratitude and impact reporting; community-centered fundraising elevated justice and inclusion. A human-centered model marries both, removing ego, flattening hierarchy, and restoring empathy across every role—donor, volunteer, staff, and participant.Tammy ties this philosophy to the real data crisis in philanthropy: donor retention at just 43% overall and a mere 19% for first-time givers. With fewer households donating each year, she warns that philanthropy risks becoming an elite sport. Instead, she advocates re-elevating small monthly donors, volunteers, and advocates whose collective action drives real change.The episode ends on a liberating message for nonprofit professionals: progress over perfection. Perfection, Tammy insists, “is overrated.” Real leadership requires risk, humility, and innovation—and that means acting, failing, learning, and trying again.In a time when empathy often feels endangered, Calling All Heroes reminds us that every fundraiser, donor, and community member has a heroic role to play. Humanity, it seems, is the most sustainable fundraising strategy of all.Find 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

We're in what I like to call the Super Bowl of fundraising — that mad sprint to December 31st. Before you pour all your time and energy into your year-end campaign, I want to make sure you're not losing money through hidden leaks in your donor funnel. In this episode, I break down the four biggest leaks that cost nonprofits thousands every year — and how to fix them before the giving rush begins:1️⃣ Acquisition – why prospects might not even be paying attention to you.2️⃣ Conversion – how a confusing donation page can kill your momentum.3️⃣ Upgrade – the missed opportunities right under your nose.4️⃣ Retention – the biggest leak of them all.Plus, I'm sharing a free Holiday Giving Readiness Checklist to help you plug those leaks and set yourself up for a strong finish to the year.Important Links:Holiday Giving Readiness Checklist: https://go.rheawong.com/holidaygivingreadinesschecklist How to Train ChatGPT:  ⁠https://go.rheawong.com/annual-fundraising-plan-tracker1-3127-4300⁠ My Big Ask Gifts Program: ⁠https://go.rheawong.com/big-ask-gifts-program⁠ My Book, Get That Money Honey: ⁠https://go.rheawong.com/get-that-money-honey⁠ My Newsletter: ⁠https://www.rheawong.com/⁠

On today's episode, Ali is talking to Kyla Burke—who you might know from her huge following on social media as a fitness expert and creator of the Coached by Kyla app. At just 34 years old, Kyla was told, “You don't have any eggs. I can barely see your ovaries—there's nothing. You have no function.” Her AMH was less than 0.01, and her estrogen, LH, and every other hormone were in the post-menopausal range. Her period had disappeared at 33, and she was diagnosed with premature ovarian failure—complete with all the symptoms: hot flashes, muscle aches, insomnia, and heartbreak. But Kyla didn't stop there. She worked with a reproductive therapist, dove into IVF, and eventually pivoted to donor eggs from a dear from of hers—becoming a proud donor egg mama of two beautiful babies. Oh—and wait until you hear how she met her husband. It might just be the best meet-cute ever shared on the pod.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/infertile-af-infertility-and-modern-family-building-through-art/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Did you know that over the next two decades, trillions of dollars will pass from one generation to the next?The question is—what kind of legacy will that transfer leave behind? Today, Boyd Bailey joins us to talk about how generosity is about more than dollars—it's about discipleship, financial literacy, and passing on wisdom along with wealth.Boyd Bailey is the President of the National Christian Foundation (NCF) in Georgia, an underwriter of Faith and Finance. He is also the author of several books, including his latest, The Power of Generosity: Experiencing God's Amazing Abundance – How to Change the World Through Acts of Kindness.What Makes NCF UniqueFounded in 1982 by Larry Burkett, Ron Blue, and Terry Parker, the National Christian Foundation (NCF) has helped mobilize over $21 billion for more than 90,000 charities and ministries worldwide.From the beginning, NCF has understood that when you carry Christian in your name, you also carry a sacred responsibility. Their mission is to walk alongside believers—to help them make the most of what God has entrusted to them—and they always start with the heart.Before discussing strategy, NCF encourages donors to discern God's call on their generosity through prayerful consideration. Only after that heart work do they explore practical tools—how to give wisely, save on taxes, and maximize Kingdom impact.One of NCF's most effective tools is the Giving Fund, a type of donor-advised fund that functions like a “charitable checking account.” Even with limited tech experience, you can open a Giving Fund online in less than a minute. It makes giving spontaneous and simple—whether you're inspired at a church service or a fundraising dinner.But convenience isn't the goal—discipleship is. Many families establish Giving Funds for their children, helping them embark on their own journey of generosity. And NCF encourages creative giving, too—through appreciated stock, real estate, or even a business interest—allowing donors to give more while paying less in taxes.Generosity and Wise StewardshipStewardship and generosity aren't opposites—they're two sides of the same coin. Stewardship manages what God provides; generosity releases it for His purposes. Without generosity, stewardship is incomplete.As Paul writes in 1 Timothy 6:17–18, believers are to “put their hope in God, who richly provides,” and to “be rich in good deeds.” Generosity, then, isn't just about giving—it's about protecting our hearts from the idols of wealth and security that compete for our devotion.For those struggling to give during uncertain times, it helps to broaden the definition of generosity. It's not limited to money—it also includes time, attention, and hospitality.Still, fear and busyness often prevent families from discussing giving or wealth transfer. The best approach? Plan early. Invite everyone. Don't go it alone. Bring in a trusted advisor or friend to help facilitate the conversation. Why wait until after you're gone for your kids to experience the joy of giving? Use your influence now to model Kingdom-minded generosity.A Simple Way to StartAs year-end approaches, consider whether an NCF Giving Fund could help you take your next faithful step in generosity. It's simple to set up, easy to use, and profoundly impactful for both you and those you bless.To learn more—or to open your own Giving Fund—visit FaithFi.com/NCF.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:My husband and I are helping our young adult son build credit. I've heard you discuss secured credit cards, but I'm also curious about whether utility bills can serve a similar purpose. You mentioned something about reporting—where does that information actually go when utilities are reported? Also, my husband and I have been debt-free for years—not even a mortgage. We share one credit card, and he was listed on it with me. We thought that would help both of our credit scores, but recently discovered that his credit disappeared. Do we need to specifically list him as an “authorized user” for it to be counted toward his credit history? I'm not sure what went wrong.I'm considering changing financial advisors and would like to understand the key concerns to keep in mind—whether it's switching to a new advisor within the same company or transferring my investments to a different institution.

“Another sign is not the answer—it dilutes the message.” - Corinn Soro Today on the pod, Cheryl sits down—virtually—with Senior Planner and Interior Designer Corinn Soro of Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center in Buffalo, NY for a deep dive into wayfinding that actually works: why “visual pollution” erodes attention, how de-crapification clarifies intent, and where evidence-based choices can transform the patient journey from disorientation to ease.  Expect real examples—subway-style maps that set expectations at a glance, pictograms that land when words won't, and donor walls designed to evolve rather than date out—plus the small, cumulative tweaks that lower stress for visitors and staff alike.  Today's conversation is about design as reassurance, translating research into decisions that cut through noise and hand back control the moment someone walks through the door. What We Cover A 17-year-old's spark: geriatric care, neuroplasticity, and the built environment London roots: learning research methods alongside OTs and PTs; universal design for all bodies Evidence-Based Design in action: NICU decisions (sound, circadian light, infection control) backed by research “Visual pollution” vs. visual cues: the case for ruthless editing (“de-crapification”) before adding signs Wayfinding that works under stress: step-by-step instructions, few decision points, and reassurance cues Designing for low literacy: a color-and-letter “subway” system, line-of-travel markers, and proximity intuition Pictograms that actually communicate: testing, swapping out abstractions, and kid-friendly icons Measuring ROI: missed appointments, staff disruptions, and the real cost of poor wayfinding In-house rhythm at a research hospital: tight feedback loops, quick iterations, and process fixes Donor walls that age well: digital storytelling, magnetic plaques, and durable substrates Advocacy and pipeline: AMFP Upstate NY, craft labor realities, and manufacturing shifts ahead Big wish list: self-cleaning floors (for hospitals…and home) Why post-occupancy evaluations could prevent future design disasters (and why they rarely happen) Key Takeaways Edit before you add. Wayfinding succeeds when clutter is removed and destinations are made legible through architecture, lighting, and contrast—not just more signs. Design for the stressed brain. Fewer decision points + stepwise reassurance beat complex directions every time. Evidence accelerates approvals. EBD turns subjective taste debates into science-backed decisions leadership can green-light. Symbols > sentences. Tested pictograms improve comprehension across languages, ages, and literacy levels. Iterate in the wild. Being embedded with clinicians and patients surfaces quick wins you'll never catch from afar. Memorable Quotes from Corinn Soro “Another sign isn't the answer—it dilutes the message.” “Wayfinding is about giving choice back to patients when so much else is out of their control.” “If a space is ‘too quiet' for the engineer, it's probably just right for the neonates.” “Healthcare design is a team sport.” Resources & Links Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center — https://www.roswellpark.org/ AMFP Upstate New York Chapter — https://amfp.org/upstate-new-york Fiona Finer, the Interior Designer (ages 3–8) — https://www.amazon.com/Fiona-Finer-Interior-Designer-Corinn/dp/1720664889 EDAC Certification (Evidence-Based Design) — https://www.healthdesign.org/certification-outreach/edac Hablamos Juntos pictograms — https://www.theicod.org/resources/news-archive/segd-and-hablamos-juntos-introduce-new-universal-symbols-in-health-care Sisters of Charity Hospital (Buffalo, NY) — NICU project mentioned — https://www.chsbuffalo.org/sisters-of-charity-hospital/ Past HID2.0 episode featuring Tama Duffy Day — Episode 20 https://healthcareidpodcast.libsyn.com/2019/09 Connect with Corinn Soro Email: corinn.soro@roswellpark.org LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/corinn-soro-14859ab/ Our Industry Partners The world is changing quickly.

Let's unpack this, did you know that hundreds of preeminent members of The American Institute of Architects –  The AIA – have signed the AIA Materials Pledge? The Pledge is aligned with the Mindful Materials Common Materials Framework – the CMF. This is just one, very impressive example of how the movement to support decision making for building product selection has reached new highs. We can see these explained as 5 pillars of sustainability: (The first) - Human Health: Focusing on avoiding hazardous substances and promoting well-being. (Then) - Social Health & Equity: Addressing human rights and fair labor practices throughout the supply chain. (The third) is Ecosystem Health: Supporting the regeneration of natural resources and habitats. (This is followed by) Climate Health: Reducing and sequestering carbon emissions. (And the fifth pillar) is The Circular Economy: Promoting a zero-waste future through design for resilience, adaptability, and reuse. I mentioned the receipts -How do we track the progress of these principles and values? Without measurement, there's no clear path to improvement or accountability. The Mindful Materials CMF maps a framework of over 650 sustainability factors across those five key areas. A cornerstone of material health transparency is an Environmental Product Declaration EPD report. The best are independently verified for accuracy by third party certification bodies – a company cannot mark their own report cards. EPDs are highly technical documents containing scientific information on the embodied carbon used to manufacture products. I have just read and included here an EPD for a Porcelanosa Tile – there are upwards of 1000 data inputs to quantify its climate impact. Porcelanosa offer the confidence and certainty of knowing that every tile, every slab of XTONE porcelain or KRION solid surface  has a Product Specific EPD – when architects and designers work with these materials they are making a robust decision to meet their sustainable design goals. To learn more about how Porcelanosa help their customers design for resiliency, here is a link to their comprehensive Corporate Social Responsibility Report: https://www.porcelanosa.com/en/corporate-social-responsibility/

In this episode of the Nonprofit Exchange, I had the pleasure of speaking with Jeff Schreifels, a seasoned expert in nonprofit leadership and fundraising. Jeff, the principal of Veritas Group and co-author of "It's Not Just About the Money," shared his journey into the world of philanthropy, which was deeply influenced by his father's commitment to giving, even during tough times. We explored the misconception that fundraising is solely about money. Jeff emphasized that true philanthropy is about building authentic relationships with donors and understanding their passions and interests. He highlighted the importance of viewing donors as key stakeholders in the mission of a nonprofit, rather than just sources of funding. Jeff also addressed the challenges many nonprofits face with their boards and the need for clear expectations and training around fundraising. He pointed out that while board members may have passion, they often require guidance to effectively contribute to fundraising efforts. Throughout our conversation, we discussed the shift from transactional to transformational fundraising, stressing that successful fundraising is about creating meaningful connections with donors. Jeff shared practical steps for nonprofit leaders to foster a donor-centered culture, including embracing the idea that staff and donors are integral to the mission. This episode serves as a powerful reminder that fundraising is not just about chasing dollars; it's about inspiring generosity and building lasting relationships.

Craig Shelley, CEO of Schultz & Williams, joins Show host Julia Patrick, as they examine how philanthropy and nonprofit leadership are being reshaped under persistent uncertainty. Craig frames the moment succinctly: skepticism toward institutions is rising, which means nonprofits must state their values plainly and show exactly how funds power outcomes. The rubric he uses —“culture, brand, growth,” with culture first—becomes a practical lens leaders can apply immediately.A central thread is fear—of economic signals, of language missteps, of technology's speed. Craig notes that newer terms and jargon often widen the gap between sector insiders and the public. The remedy, he argues, is precision in communication and integrity in positioning. Julia observes a leadership pivot she's hearing across the sector: “I've shifted my focus from task management to almost cheerleader,” which reframes modern leadership as energizing teams, not merely allocating tasks.Remote work adds complexity: video meetings enable contact but thin relationships. Craig cautions that virtual convenience can erode the depth required for durable trust with colleagues and donors. He urges fundraisers—especially early-career professionals—to prioritize in-person relationship building. Otherwise, if their engagement stays purely digital, they compete directly with automated outreach. AI, in his telling, is already table stakes for efficiency—wealth screening, signal-based prospecting, and automated acknowledgments—but not a substitute for human rapport.The conversation widens to concentric circles of stakeholders: start with staff, then the board, donors, and constituents. Invest in people first—reduce friction, understand motivations, build clarity. Curiosity is the catalyst. Craig's own practice—asking about lives beyond job titles—models how depth is built. Julia adds a counterweight on “authentic leadership,” wryly noting that unfiltered authenticity can unsettle teams; leaders must project steadiness even while processing strain.What emerges is a modern leadership compact: clarity about values, consistent communication, judicious use of technology, and intentional relationship work—especially in person. The sector's generosity hasn't waned; the environment around it has shifted. Navigating that shift means centering people and partnerships, then aligning tools to support, not replace, human connection.Find 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

If you needed a life-saving transplant, would you take a gene-edited organ from a pig? It sounds like science fiction, but this procedure has been researched for decades, and it could help solve the massive organ shortage. But is it ethical to use animals for their parts? And are there other risks?

President Donald Trump's recent remarks about Miriam Adelson, widow of Republican megadonor Sheldon Adelson, including jokes that she is more loyal to Israel than the United States, qualify as antisemitism, based on the guidelines promulgated by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA), which classifies accusations of dual loyalty as antisemitic. Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger analyze Trump's history with the Adelsons, his acknowledgment of their influence over policy decisions such as moving the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem, and his rhetoric about donor power in U.S. politics. The discussion then expands into a broader critique of the IHRA's antisemitism definitions, perceived double standards in political discourse, and the influence of Zionism and media narratives on public perception. Plus segments on the sham that is the upcoming “No Kings” rally and Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene going scorched earth on her own party. Also featuring Mike MacRae, Mel K. and Stef Zamorano.

One Canadian dies every two days waiting for an organ. Stephanie Azzarello feared she'd be one of them. For people waiting for a liver, like Azzarello, there's an option to find a living donor. Usually it comes from a family member or close friend… but not always. The woman who offered to help Azzarello after seeing her social media post was a stranger who lived in another country, had never met her. In her documentary, Because of Her, Liz Hoath brings us their story — and how their lives were brought together.

Although people often perceive fundraising as refined conversations and confident asks, the reality is far more complex. Many fundraisers often struggle with self-doubt, suspicious of whether they fit into the category of a ‘good fundraiser.' Whether it's redefining what skills matter, reframing the role of data, or turning challenges like lapsed donors into opportunities, this episode explores how shifting perspectives can open new possibilities.

Jim Dries, CEO of PILYTIX, joined HEA to talk about the increased donor fatigue in the world of college athletics right now, and why coaching buyouts will probably make fatigue worse. He explains why just throwing more fundraisers at the solution is not necessarily the right play. Instead, athletic departments need to rethink their qualified donor pool and use the data they probably are already collecting to be more strategic and efficient in their approach. I ask Jim what future ADs should know about the problem of donor fatigue and future of fundraising best practices to prepare for the interview.

At the heart of it all: what's best for the future donor-conceived person. This episode is proudly supported by Concept Fertility

In this episode of American Potential, host David From sits down with Lawson Bader, president and CEO of DonorsTrust, to unpack why donor privacy is essential to free speech and a healthy civil society. Bader explains how efforts to expose donors—often fueled by political grudges, social-media pile-ons, and envy—chill participation and warp the relationship between citizens and the state. He traces the principle back through landmark Supreme Court rulings, makes the case that “transparency is for government, privacy is for citizens,” and warns against tit-for-tat attempts by either party to unmask supporters. The conversation also digs into the practical side of philanthropy: how donor-advised funds help preserve intent, why generational wealth so often drifts away from founders' values, and where the real action is today—at the state level, where regulations and donor-privacy fights are heating up. Whether you give $50 or $5 million, this episode lays out why protecting privacy isn't about secrecy—it's about safeguarding pluralism, encouraging generosity, and ensuring ideas compete on their merits, not on the intimidation of their supporters.

I'm so excited about this episode with the amazing Erika Carley, Chief Impact Officer at National Angels (and one of the smartest donor retention minds I know).If you've ever said, “We just need more donors,” STOP.
