In today's nonprofit sector, transparency isn't just a buzzword—it's a strategic lever for equity, credibility, and access to resources. Amid growing scrutiny, shifting donor expectations, and declining federal funding, nonprofits must find new ways to build trust and demonstrate value.In this timely and essential episode of Nonprofit Nation, I welcome Brittany Hall, Senior Director of Equitable Access at Candid, to discuss how nonprofits can use Candid's Seals of Transparency to strengthen their public profiles, build donor trust, and unlock critical funding—especially for smaller, underfunded, and BIPOC-led organizations. With the launch of the new 2026 Seals, Candid is doubling down on accessibility, shared data standards, and transparency as public infrastructure for the sector.Brittany also shares insights from Candid's recent blog post, Meeting This Moment: Helping Nonprofits That Lost Federal Funding, and explains how Candid is adapting its tools and strategy to support organizations hit hardest by changing funding flows.Whether you're a nonprofit leader, fundraiser, or funder, this episode will challenge you to see transparency not as compliance—but as a powerful tool for systemic change.
What if the biggest barrier to your fundraising success isn't your strategy or your donor list — but your workplace culture?In this insightful episode, I sit down with Marcia Beckner, a nationally recognized nonprofit founder, CEO mentor, culture strategist, and host of the Nonprofit CEO SPARK podcast. Marcia is the creator of the Culture CARES® Framework, a proven model for helping nonprofit leaders build healthy, inclusive, and empowering organizational cultures where everyone can thrive — and where fundraising can flourish.Marcia shares her powerful personal journey, beginning with a life-altering ovarian cancer diagnosis in her 20s that led her to found MyLifeLine Cancer Foundation. Under her leadership, the organization grew nationally and eventually merged with a global nonprofit, reaching over 300,000 cancer patients and families.Today, Marcia works with mission-driven leaders across the country to tackle a commonly overlooked truth: your culture is your growth engine. Without alignment, even the best fundraising strategies fall flat. But when leadership, values, and strategy are united? Teams thrive. Revenue grows. Burnout fades.

Workplace giving is one of the most underused tools in a fundraiser's toolkit—but it's also one of the most powerful.More than 26 million U.S. employees have access to workplace giving programs, and in 2024, they donated an estimated $3 billion to nonprofits. With corporate matches included, the average employee gift totaled $1,744. That's a major opportunity!In this episode, we're talking about why workplace giving is so much more than a matching gift: it's a strategic lever for building stronger donor relationships, deepening community partnerships, and expanding your reach to younger, purpose-driven supporters.My guest is Matt Nash, Executive Director of The Blackbaud Giving Fund, which has disbursed more than $1.6 billion to over 195,000 nonprofits around the world. He's also a former senior leader at Fidelity Charitable and brings decades of insight into donor behavior, corporate philanthropy, and what's next for fundraising.
In this episode, I sit down to discuss the biggest challenges and opportunities for the world's largest brands in 2026. We dive into why email is still a foundational and incredibly relevant channel, the biggest mistakes large companies make (from measuring reach to bad agency structures), and how to navigate the rapidly changing world of generative AI. I share the story of my biggest email marketing mistake at Wine Library and reveal the strategy my team is using right now to get a double-digit lift in our email open rates.You'll learn about:Why email is still a central hub of attention and how AI will boost open ratesThe difference between "lean-in" and "lean-back" content across channelsWhy I believe "Performance Marketing" should be rebranded to "Performance Sales"Why you shouldn't rush into long-term AI contracts with vendorsThe common mistake of measuring potential reach instead of actualized reach
It's story time! I'm a language trainer and mentor. I work with others to help them on their language journeys with English. But I'm also a learner with three languages at different stages of fluency. And that's really good because I also have the perspective of a learner. Not all of my clients have the same challenges as me – though many do! My solutions won't work for everyone! But there are things that I can share from my experiences of improving my language skills that will probably resonate with some of my listeners too.In this episode, I'm talking about an experience from my Portuguese class. My Portuguese level isn't at the same level as the English of mmost of my clients, but we're not talking about language level today. We're talking about the choices that we make when we don't feel sure. Sometimes they are choices to protect us and make us feel safe, but they can also dilute our message.My task was to describe three of my services in English and then to talk about the same three services in Portuguese. This is what happened and the feedback I received when we compared them. I'm not talking about aspects of the language, so you don't need to understand Portuguese to listen to this episode.Has anything similar happened to you? Are there occasions when you play it safe with your additional languages? What could the consequences of that be? The first step to fixing something that isn't serving us is recognising the patern or behaviour in the first place!And, as we were talking about my mentoring service, where we look at how you communicate, how you communicate in English, and how you can use your English voice to be more authentic and impactful, you can find all the details here: https://englishwithkirsty.com/discover-your-voice-in-english/Also, you can connect with me on LinkedIn here - https://www.linkedin.com/in/kirsty-danielle-wolf-a8478235/

"We're not just telling stories anymore—we're helping people make sense of the world."That's the powerful message behind this week's episode of Nonprofit Nation featuring Kristen Grimm, founder and strategist of Spitfire Strategies, a leading communications firm that helps nonprofits, foundations, and social changemakers sharpen their voice and deepen their impact.In this conversation, Kristen introduces the concept of “meaning-making” — the process of helping people interpret what's happening around them, understand what it means, and decide how to act. With the world experiencing unprecedented levels of uncertainty, polarization, and complexity, Kristen argues that communicators now face a once-in-a-generation opportunity to help people cut through the noise and find clarity, purpose, and direction.Drawing on her recently published meaning-making blog series, Kristen shares a timely roadmap for nonprofit leaders looking to rise above the chaos and communicate with resonance. You'll hear about the different phases of meaning-making, how to spot a "meaning-making window" when it opens, and why now is the time to shift from persuasion to perspective-shaping.

In der frühen Neuzeit war es quasi ein Todesurteil, als Hexe bezeichnet zu werden: Allein in Deutschland wurden tausende Frauen als vermeintliche "Hexen" ermordet. Und heute? Bezeichnen sich viele junge Frauen selbst als Hexen, posten unter #witchtok Content über Zaubersprüche und Rituale, arbeiten als Influencerinnen und positionieren sich feministisch. Reporterin Christina Fee Moebus kommt selbst aus einem "Esoterik-offenen" Haushalt und will herausfinden, wie diese neue Art der Spiritualität aussieht: Was macht die modernen Hexen aus? Dafür besucht sie eine Kräuterhexe in ihrem Garten in Hannover – und einen "Vollmond-Ritual"-Workshop der bekannten "Witchfluencerin" Shisha Rainbow, der sie etwas verwirrt zurücklässt. Mit Shisha Rainbow redet sie darüber, ob Hexerei feministisch ist – und darüber, ob sie durch ihren Social-Media-Content zur Kommerzialisierung von Hexerei beiträgt. Diese Kommerzialisierung kritisiert die Psychologin Sarah Pohl. Sie arbeitet mit Menschen, die Esoterik-Abzocken zum Opfer gefallen sind.
