How do you lead when everything feels uncertain? Carina Santa Maria, CEO of Shelter Youth and Family Services, shared a bold, forward-thinking approach to nonprofit leadership in challenging times. From weathering funding impasses and the pandemic to rethinking donor relationships and pioneering new models of care, Carina proves that crisis can be a catalyst for transformation.Shelter-Inc.org, based outside Chicago, has served vulnerable youth and families for 50 years. Yet Carina candidly shares that despite its legacy, the organization has had to reinvent itself multiple times. Whether navigating Illinois' state budget freeze or pivoting during COVID-19, the common thread has been resilience backed by strategy. “We had to pivot and find the resources to make sure those services were delivered,” Carina says.But this conversation is about more than survival—it's about rising. Carina reveals how she and her team moved away from event-based fundraising and focused on cultivating deep donor relationships. The result? A record-setting $1.8 million raised in one year—without galas or trivia nights. This change didn't come easy, but it paid off with greater mission alignment and long-term investment from supporters.Carina also discusses the organization's next bold chapter: building Illinois' first DCFS-approved group home for child victims of human trafficking. What began as a donor's $50,000 trust experiment has blossomed into a $5 million initiative. “He told me, ‘I don't care if it works. I just want to see you think outside the box,'” Carina shares. It's a stunning example of what's possible when leaders are trusted and supported to innovate.The episode touches on advocacy, trauma-informed storytelling, and building credibility through impact rather than sentiment. Carina makes a compelling case for nonprofit leaders to demand their place at decision-making tables and challenge outdated narratives that nonprofits are less strategic than their corporate counterparts.For nonprofit professionals, this conversation is both a challenge and a blueprint. Carina reminds us that strategy, communication, and vision can carry organizations through uncertainty—not just intact, but stronger. 00:00:00 Welcome 00:01:27 What Shelter Youth and Family Services does 00:02:37 Navigating 24/7 operations and community needs 00:03:50 Impact of state and federal policy on services 00:04:44 Surviving Illinois' budget impasse and COVID 00:06:38 Managing donor fatigue and funding volatility 00:07:53 The importance of donor communication 00:09:43 Leveraging board and stakeholders as advocates 00:11:26 Advocacy and public perception of trafficking 00:12:59 Systems change as financial strategy 00:13:53 Transitioning from events to major gifts 00:17:08 Donor trust leading to bold innovation 00:20:25 Trauma-informed storytelling vs. strategic impact 00:24:10 Educating partners and demanding a seat at the table 00:26:20 Saying no and owning nonprofit leadership 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

Quad A Website: quada.org Episode Summary: Welcome to this engaging episode of "In Touch with Terri," where we explore the dynamic world of accreditation in the booming aesthetics industry. Host Terri Ross converses with Thomas Terranova, CEO of Quad A, about an exciting and crucial initiative to introduce a global accreditation framework for non-surgical medical aesthetic practices, such as med spas. As the industry surges ahead with rapid growth, this initiative aims to bridge the current regulatory gap, providing a structured and formal oversight mechanism that has long been absent in non-surgical environments. In this revealing discussion, Terri and Thomas delve into the pressing safety gaps in the medical aesthetics sector. With an understanding that current growth has outpaced both regulations and common best practices, Thomas outlines the steps Quad A is taking to standardize safety, excellence, and consistency. The pair highlight the potential impacts of this initiative on both practitioners—ensuring legitimate, safe operations—and patients who will gain increased confidence in the services they receive. Attentive listeners will learn about the core pillars of this new accreditation framework, the challenges faced during its development, and its anticipated positive repercussions on the global stage. Key Takeaways: The medical aesthetics industry is experiencing rapid growth but lacks adequate regulation, particularly in non-surgical environments such as med spas. Quad A, under the leadership of Thomas Terranova, is leading a global initiative to develop an accreditation framework for non-surgical medical aesthetic practices. The accreditation aims to ensure patient safety, enhance facility standards, and instill greater confidence in aesthetic treatments. The initiative includes comprehensive documentation, rigorous staff training, and the adoption of standard operating procedures to minimize risks. Educating patients and making safety considerations front-and-center are key strategies for improving consumer trust and industry standards.

In this episode of The Drop, we discuss EMWD's education program and the work we're doing with our school district partners to help educate and inspire our industry's future workforce.

Today we're wrapping up our eight-part series by exploring how labor and economic justice nonprofits can advance their missions through advocacy. We'll cover recent developments and examine both lobbying and non-lobbying strategies that advocates are using to improve economic justice for all.   Attorneys for this episode   Tim Mooney Susan Finkle Sourlis Sarah Efthymiou   Shownotes Current Events / Executive Orders ·      Trump Administration Directives Impacting Workers o   In March, President Trump issued an executive order exempting national security agencies from the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978. The EO revokes collective bargaining rights for over a million federal workers, hindering their ability to organize and improve working conditions. o   In January 2025, an executive order paused the planned increase of the minimum wage for federal contract workers to $17/hour, reversing wage gains for thousands of low-wage employees. o   In March 2025, another executive order directed the Department of Labor to halt enforcement of protections against misclassification for independent contractors, adopting a worker-unfriendly test that limits employee eligibility for wage and hour protections. ·      Illegal ICE & DHS workplace raids: ICE, racing to fulfill the Trump Administration's goal to increase deportations, is increasingly targeting work sites for immigration sweeps in LA and other major cities. In addition to loss of essential income for workers who are afraid to show up for work, this escalation is a chilling effect on businesses and local communities. Non-lobbying Advocacy Advocacy can take many forms, and lobbying is just one form. Your organization can engage in non-lobbying activities like: Organizing, educating the public, conducting research, executive branch and regulatory activities, training and litigation are just a few examples.   ·      Educating the Public o   Nonprofits that support immigrant workers, such as The Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights (CHIRLA), are sharing "know your rights” info, so workers are better prepared if stopped by immigration officials. Other groups provide information for employers, such as the National Employment Law Project's What to do if Immigration Comes to Your Workplace. ·      Identify & advocate to supportive government officials: o   Find your allies in government and encourage them to continue to defend their communities. Many nonprofits have lauded Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass' and California Governor Gavin Newsom's public criticism of the federal government's actions in LA, describing the deployment of military forces to the city as an overreach and a violation of state sovereignty. ·      Holding a Rally o   In February, federal workers organized coordinated “Save Our Services Day of Action” events in multiple cities to build a broader network of support and to put pressure on the administration and Congress to block the illegal firing of fed workers ·      Litigation as Advocacy o   A multi-state coalition of nonprofits, unions, and local governments sued the Trump Administration over mass layoffs of federal workers without approval of Congress. Lobbying ·      Pro-Worker Legislation o   Nevada's state legislature is currently considering expanding their existing Paid Family & Medical Leave program beyond state employees ·      Ballot Initiatives Coming on the heels of several key wins in 2024 (Alaska, Missouri, and AZ), already seeing upcoming ballot measures o   A potential Ohio Nov 2025 ballot initiative to increase minimum wage to $15/hour; and Oklahoma qualified June 2026 ballot measure to increase the state's minimum wage to $15/hour Resources ·      Power & Equity: The Advocacy Playbook for Labor and Economic Justice ·      Practical Guidance: What your nonprofit needs to know about lobbying in your state ·      Investing in Change: A Funder's Guide to Supporting Advocacy ·      What is Advocacy? 2.0 ·      Seize the Initiative

Are we crushing our boys with an outdated education system?Why do so many young men feel bored, disengaged, and misunderstood in school? What if the system isn't broken—but just not built for them in the first place?In this episode, we dive deep into a powerful and necessary conversation about the struggles boys face in modern education—and what one man is doing to change that. If you've ever felt like your son was being shaped to fit a mold that just doesn't work for him, this one's for you.Meet Ben Kuiken, a former traditional teacher who asked a simple, bold question: What if we stopped trying to fix boys, and instead fixed the system?From humble beginnings as a fifth-grade teacher to co-founding Anvil Academy, Ben has become a trailblazer in creating hands-on, purpose-driven education specifically designed for boys. With a deep belief in identity, risk, adventure, and real-world learning, Ben is on a mission to forge men—not just students.Quotes:"If a boy knows who they are, if they can answer why they matter, and they can say, here's the audience that I'm living for, this is who gets to write off on my report card - that prepares them for whatever season life throws their way." - Ben Kuiken"We're preparing these kids for a world that isn't even established yet. I don't need to prepare them for a system or something. I need to be able to prepare them for anything." - Ben Kuiken"I believe that I am an adopted son of the King of the universe, and that gives me all the value that I need - that I am unconditionally loved, that I am fully seen, all of my flaws internally and externally." - Ben KuikenKey Takeaways:Reimagine Education at Home: If you're a parent or educator, ask yourself: Is my child being shaped by a system that supports who they are—or suppresses it? Begin by creating space for hands-on learning, curiosity, and risk-taking in your home or classroom.Replace Digital Risk with Real-World Adventure: Boys naturally seek risk, challenge, and consequence. Channel that energy into real-life experiences—like sports, building projects, outdoor adventures, or creative challenges—that have tangible rewards and consequences.Challenge the “This Is How It's Always Been Done” Mentality: Whether in parenting, teaching, or leadership, ask: Is this method truly working—or just familiar? Be brave enough to try new approaches, even if it means pushback.Start Small, Start Now: Inspired to make a change? Don't wait for a perfect plan or a crowd of followers. Start with one student, one lesson, one moment of connection. Excellence at a small scale leads to meaningful impact.Conclusion:This conversation with Ben Kuiken reminds us that the future of young men isn't written by grades, test scores, or outdated systems—it's forged through identity, purpose, and real-world challenge.Whether you're a parent, educator, or mentor, the question now is: Are you helping the boys in your life become men—or just helping them behave?Ben's journey shows us what's possible when we stop trying to force boys to fit the mold—and instead, build a world that fits their God-given design. The path won't be easy. It's not meant to be. But it's worth it.So take the first step. Be curious. Be bold. And remember—great men aren't born. They're forged.

In this enlightening podcast episode, I sit down with Natalie Kovarik a cattle rancher, to discuss the realities of cattle ranching versus its portrayal in popular media like 'Yellowstone'. Natalie shares her unique journey from Montana to Nebraska, illustrating the challenges and advancements in agriculture over the decades. They delve into her collaboration with dairy farmer Tara Vander Dussen on their podcast 'Discover Ag', which aims to bridge the gap between consumers and the origins of their food. Key topics include the impact of climate and market pricing on farming, the pros and cons of grass-fed versus grain-fed beef, misconceptions about methane production, and the often misleading nature of food labels. This episode offers a comprehensive look at modern agriculture, sustainability practices, and the importance of transparent, informed food production. What You'll Learn: Reality vs. Media: Understand how popular media can mislead public perceptions of farming and agriculture. Building Connections: Discover how Natalie and Tara use social media and their podcast to connect consumers directly with the farming world. Agricultural Realities: Learn about the technological advances and persistent challenges such as market pricing that impact modern farming. Debunking Myths: Gain insights into common misconceptions about "factory farming" and the scale of agricultural operations. Environmental Impact: Explore the nuanced discussion on agriculture's environmental role, particularly around methane production and sustainable practices. Key Takeaways: Media depictions often do not fully reflect the complexities of agriculture; Natalie provides an authentic look into farming life. Social media and platforms like Discover Ag foster direct consumer connections, opening dialogue about agriculture's realities.
