PeckRichard C. Peckfeeds@spreaker.comI'm Rick Peck, also known as "The Philanthropy Guy.” Let's talk about: 1) How nonprofits can most effectively showcase their mission and vision; 2) How donors and potential donors can make the greatest impact possible in the world; and 3) how...false7a3bf1bc-74af-5404-8904-19e10cbc57dbtrueepisodicEp. 92 Why Collaboration Could Make the Nonprofit Sector Stronger with Kate Harrishttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/ep-92-why-collaboration-could-make-the-nonprofit-sector-stronger-with-kate-harris--73718507
Throughout the episode, Kate and Rick discuss how competition for limited funding can unintentionally discourage collaboration and why nonprofits, boards, and funders should begin thinking differently about organizational sustainability. Kate explains that collaboration exists on a spectrum, from informal partnerships and shared programs to asset transfers and mergers, and that successful partnerships require planning, resources, and a shared commitment to the people being served. She also offers an important challenge to nonprofit boards: shift from fidelity to the organization itself to fidelity to the mission. By building partnerships before a crisis occurs, organizations can strengthen their missions, protect the communities they serve, and potentially create a more compelling case for philanthropic investment.

Whether you are a nonprofit leader, board member, donor, funder, philanthropic advisor, or someone interested in strengthening the charitable sector, this conversation offers a fresh perspective on what collaboration can make possible. Kate’s message is clear: collaboration does not have to mean failure, reduction, or loss of identity. When approached strategically, it can help nonprofits pool resources, strengthen their influence, improve access to services, and ultimately create greater impact for the communities at the center of their work.

Throughout the episode, Stephen and Rick discuss why nonprofit leaders should think like entrepreneurs by carefully evaluating community needs before launching new organizations, considering alternatives such as fiscal sponsorship, and seeking guidance from experienced nonprofit founders. They also examine the broader nonprofit funding landscape, including the importance of trust-based philanthropy, investing in organizational capacity, and strengthening donor stewardship through authentic relationships rather than transactional fundraising. Stephen also shares how Charity Charge is helping nonprofits access financial products and services designed specifically for the charitable sector, filling a gap left by traditional banking and business tools.

Whether you are a nonprofit founder, executive director, board member, donor, philanthropic advisor, or anyone passionate about strengthening the charitable sector, this conversation offers thoughtful guidance on building organizations that are both mission-driven and financially resilient. Stephen's message is clear: lasting impact requires more than passion—it requires strategic planning, trusted relationships, and investing in the infrastructure that allows nonprofits to serve their communities for years to come.

Throughout the episode, Luke and Rick explore the far-reaching impact of providing children with a bed of their own. Beyond improving sleep, a bed offers dignity, security, better school performance, improved health, and a sense of hope. Luke explains how child bedlessness often goes unnoticed because families facing job loss, domestic violence, housing instability, or other hardships must prioritize food and shelter before purchasing beds. He also shares how Sleep in Heavenly Peace empowers volunteers across the country to build and deliver beds locally, creating opportunities for entire communities to rally around children in need. As Luke explains, "Child bedlessness is not a real word, but it's a real problem."

Whether you are a donor, nonprofit leader, volunteer, philanthropic advisor, or simply someone looking for a meaningful way to serve your community, this episode offers an inspiring reminder that lasting impact often begins with meeting a basic human need. Luke's story demonstrates that ordinary people can accomplish extraordinary things when they choose to act. One bed may seem like a simple gift, but for a child, it can provide comfort, stability, dignity, and hope for a brighter future.

Throughout the episode, David and Rick discuss the essential traits of effective nonprofit leadership, including resilience, optimism, and active listening. They also examine why strategic planning should be practical and actionable rather than overly complex, and how regular measurement and evaluation help organizations demonstrate impact while continually improving their programs. David emphasizes that great leaders don't simply manage from behind a desk, they stay connected to the people they serve and use what they learn to strengthen both their mission and their organization.

Whether you are a nonprofit executive, board member, donor, fundraiser, or philanthropic advisor, this episode offers practical guidance for building organizations that can thrive for years to come. David's message is both encouraging and challenging: passion may be the spark that starts a nonprofit, but leadership, accountability, and strategy are what allow that passion to create lasting impact.

Throughout the episode, Michael and Rick explore why many donors feel overwhelmed by year-end deadlines, constant fundraising requests, and uncertainty about where to give. Michael shares how donor-advised funds simplify the giving process while allowing donors to thoughtfully align their charitable dollars with the causes they care about most. The conversation also examines emerging trends from National Christian Foundation's Next Generation Giving research, highlighting younger donors' desire for measurable impact, collaborative giving, local and global engagement, and opportunities to grow in their generosity journey.

Whether you are a donor, nonprofit leader, philanthropic advisor, or fundraiser, this episode offers practical insights into giving more intentionally and building a lasting philanthropic legacy. Michael's message is both encouraging and empowering: when we remove the pressure from giving and replace it with purpose, generosity becomes more thoughtful, strategic, and transformational for both donors and the communities they serve.

They discuss why the greatest barriers to generosity are often the "quiet negotiations" we have with ourselves, how our relationship with money is shaped across generations, and why lasting impact requires more than financial resources alone. Bishop Foreman encourages listeners to focus on the causes they are uniquely called to serve while reminding us that sustainable change is built through leadership, collaboration, measurable outcomes, and faithful execution.

Throughout the episode, Mitzi reflects on the lessons that defined her understanding of generosity. She recalls her father's belief that "the greatest pleasure that all my money has ever given me is in giving it away," and her mother's encouragement to act quickly whenever an opportunity arises to help someone in need. Those principles became the foundation for a life centered on service rather than success, reminding listeners that true legacy is measured by the lives we touch, not the wealth we accumulate.

The conversation also explores Mitzi's work in Ukraine, where she has witnessed both the devastation of war and the remarkable resilience of its people. She explains how storytelling serves as an act of advocacy by preserving truth, honoring survivors, and inspiring others to care. Rick and Mitzi also discuss an innovative artificial intelligence-powered mental health platform being developed to provide immediate emotional support to Ukrainians experiencing trauma, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress—demonstrating how technology and philanthropy can work together to address urgent humanitarian needs.

Throughout the episode, Ryan and Rick explore the balance between advancing a mission and building the operational foundation needed to support it. Ryan explains that many nonprofits become so focused on serving their communities that they unintentionally overlook the systems, financial safeguards, and organizational capacity required for long-term success. As he puts it, "No money, no mission. No mission, no money." Rather than viewing infrastructure as overhead, Ryan encourages nonprofit leaders to see it as a vital investment that enables mission delivery.

The conversation also examines the risks of mission creep and the importance of intentional growth. Ryan describes how organizations can gradually expand beyond their original purpose without the people, processes, or resources needed to sustain that growth. He also highlights the critical role of strong governance, collaborative leadership, and strategic partnerships. By embracing a "we" mindset and leveraging shared services and expertise, nonprofits can strengthen their operations, increase their impact, and remain focused on the communities they serve.

Whether you are a nonprofit executive, board member, fundraiser, donor, or philanthropic advisor, this episode offers practical guidance for building resilient organizations that can serve their missions for years to come.

Throughout the episode, Howard and Rick explore why non-cash asset giving represents one of philanthropy's greatest untapped opportunities. While many nonprofits devote significant resources to securing cash donations, countless donors hold appreciated or unused assets that could create greater charitable impact while offering potential tax advantages. Howard encourages organizations to broaden the conversation with donors, explaining that "Everybody's out there asking for money. You're competing with 900,000 other nonprofits in this country." By making it easier for donors to contribute assets instead of cash, nonprofits can unlock new revenue streams while helping donors give in ways that better align with their financial circumstances.

The conversation also highlights an important truth that extends far beyond fundraising: every donated asset represents a personal story. Howard shares touching examples of families donating cherished vehicles, inherited property, and other meaningful possessions, reminding listeners that generosity is deeply emotional. Whether helping a widow say goodbye to her late husband's vintage automobile or assisting a family in donating the minivan where both of their children were unexpectedly born, Howard emphasizes that stewardship always comes before the transaction. As he explains, "For us, the most important part of the equation isn't the car donation, it's the donor." Those relationships, built through empathy and service, create trust that lasts well beyond any single gift.

Howard also reassures nonprofit leaders that embracing non-cash asset giving doesn't require becoming an expert in every type of donation. By partnering with experienced organizations that specialize in evaluating, accepting, and liquidating complex assets, nonprofits can confidently offer donors more giving options while minimizing liability and administrative burden. As Howard reflects, "Anytime you can find yourself in a situation where you can be of service, the rewards are extraordinary." His message is both practical and inspiring: expanding the ways donors can give ultimately expands the impact nonprofits can make in the communities they serve.

Whether you are a nonprofit leader, fundraiser, donor, philanthropic advisor, or professional interested in planned giving, this episode offers valuable insights into one of the most overlooked areas of charitable fundraising. Howard's stories and practical advice demonstrate that generosity often begins by simply asking a different question—and recognizing that meaningful gifts come in many forms.

PeckWhat if some of your organization's greatest fundraising opportunities aren't sitting in donors' checking accounts—but in assets they no longer need? In this episode of Money to Give, Rick Peck sits down with Howard Pearl, CEO of CarEasy and Giving...
Throughout the episode, Howard and Rick explore why non-cash asset giving represents one of philanthropy's greatest untapped opportunities. While many nonprofits devote significant resources to securing cash donations, countless donors hold appreciated or unused assets that could create greater charitable impact while offering potential tax advantages. Howard encourages organizations to broaden the conversation with donors, explaining that "Everybody's out there asking for money. You're competing with 900,000 other nonprofits in this country." By making it easier for donors to contribute assets instead of cash, nonprofits can unlock new revenue streams while helping donors give in ways that better align with their financial circumstances.

The conversation also highlights an important truth that extends far beyond fundraising: every donated asset represents a personal story. Howard shares touching examples of families donating cherished vehicles, inherited property, and other meaningful possessions, reminding listeners that generosity is deeply emotional. Whether helping a widow say goodbye to her late husband's vintage automobile or assisting a family in donating the minivan where both of their children were unexpectedly born, Howard emphasizes that stewardship always comes before the transaction. As he explains, "For us, the most important part of the equation isn't the car donation, it's the donor." Those relationships, built through empathy and service, create trust that lasts well beyond any single gift.

    Throughout the episode, Emily and Rick explore how giving circles are democratizing philanthropy by creating opportunities for more people to participate meaningfully in charitable giving. Rather than limiting philanthropy to major donors or large private foundations, giving circles demonstrate that small contributions, when combined, can create significant impact. Emily emphasizes that "We're all philanthropists," reminding listeners that generosity is defined less by the size of a gift and more by the willingness to come together around a shared mission. The conversation highlights how giving circles foster education, strengthen donor engagement, and encourage thoughtful decision-making while helping communities address local and global needs.

    The discussion also examines the growing importance of connection in philanthropy. At a time when many people feel increasingly isolated, giving circles create spaces where individuals from different backgrounds can build trust, learn from one another, and work toward common goals. Emily shares research showing that 91% of giving circle participants report a stronger sense of belonging to their community. She explains that people are increasingly seeking meaningful relationships through their generosity, noting that "People want more connection across difference." Rather than simply writing a check, donors are looking for opportunities to engage with others who share a commitment to creating positive change.

    Technology has helped accelerate this movement far beyond neighborhood gatherings. Through Grapevine's platform, giving circles can organize virtually, support nonprofits across the country, and build sustainable communities of recurring donors. Emily also discusses how nonprofits themselves are beginning to embrace giving-circle models as they recognize that today's donors want more than transactional fundraising—they want community, participation, and shared impact. One particularly compelling insight is that while only about 2% of new nonprofit donations are typically established as recurring gifts, more than half of donations made through Grapevine communities recur automatically. This shift reflects a growing preference for relationship-driven philanthropy that strengthens both donor engagement and nonprofit sustainability.

    Whether you are a donor, nonprofit leader, philanthropic advisor, fundraiser, or simply someone looking to make a greater difference, this conversation offers a hopeful vision for the future of generosity. Emily's work reminds us that lasting impact doesn't require extraordinary wealth—it begins when ordinary people come together with shared purpose, curiosity, and a desire to improve their communities.

Whether you are focused on stewardship, personal growth, philanthropy, or building a healthier relationship with money, this episode offers practical and deeply reflective insights on living and giving more intentionally. This is Part 2 of a 2-part conversation with Chad Hufford.

      Kevin shares how AI can help organizations identify the right donors at the right time, personalize communication at an individual level, analyze fundraising performance, and even deploy AI agents that function like digital interns handling repetitive tasks. He also discusses why nonprofits do not need massive budgets or long implementation timelines to begin seeing results and how organizations can gradually adopt AI in ways that complement — rather than replace — their teams. Whether you are a nonprofit executive, fundraiser, board member, consultant, or advisor, this episode offers a thoughtful and highly actionable look at how AI is reshaping the future of philanthropy and mission-driven work.

      Rick and Eli also dive into broader reflections on service, wealth, and the meaning of legacy. Eli shares how reading The Denial of Death reshaped his understanding of why humans pursue wealth, fame, or power and how service to others can provide a far more meaningful legacy. They discuss lessons from legendary fundraiser Hank Rosso, the power of persistence, and how intentional relationships can shape our impact in the world. The conversation closes with Eli’s concept of Soju Wede, inspired by the African philosophy of Sankofa, encouraging us to learn from the past, embrace our mortality, and use our wealth financial, social, and spiritual to create a more just and compassionate future.

      If you have ever wondered what estate planning reveals about human priorities, or how our lives and relationships define the legacy we leave behind, this episode offers a powerful and philosophical perspective.

      Rick and Tym also explore where philanthropy can make the greatest difference and where donors should be cautious about placing their dollars. Rather than simply paying for treatment that insurance should already cover, Tym explains why funders can be especially impactful by supporting prevention efforts, recovery organizations, harm reduction work, policy advocacy, workforce capacity, and the wraparound services that help people stay stable and well. They also discuss how government, insurers, and policymakers influence access to care, and why professional advisors can play a powerful role in helping donors give strategically in this space.

      Rick and Sara explore how the political environment heading into 2025 differs from the pro-growth mindset that shaped the 2017 tax law, why many members of Congress still lack a strong understanding of what the charitable sector actually does, and how tax changes could affect incentives for giving. Sara also offers a practical look at what nonprofits, donors, and sector leaders can do now to educate lawmakers, build relationships, and advocate for policies that protect charitable giving. If you want a clearer picture of the risks and realities facing philanthropy in the next chapter of tax reform, this conversation is an important place to start.

      Sandra shares insights from the front lines of Washington, D.C., where tax policy, estate planning, and philanthropy intersect. She explains how upcoming tax law changes in 2025, growing bipartisan scrutiny of wealth and charitable vehicles, and the looming challenges of federal deficits and entitlement programs could influence how wealth is distributed between families, charities, and government. The conversation also highlights why nonprofits and donors should be paying close attention now band what actions they can take to prepare for the policy debates ahead.

      If the Great Wealth Transfer represents one of the largest financial shifts in history, the question becomes: How much of it will strengthen philanthropy and how much will be redirected elsewhere? This episode offers a timely look at the forces shaping that answer.

Brad shares practical insights on how gift officers can keep the door open to these opportunities by asking better questions, leaning on trusted experts, and focusing first on the donor’s passion for the mission rather than the mechanics of the gift. If nonprofits want to access the full potential of donor generosity, this conversation highlights why non-cash assets may represent one of the most powerful and underused tools in modern philanthropy.

They discuss why real estate can be such a powerful philanthropic tool, what makes a property marketable, how donor-advised funds often fit into the process, and why specialized partnerships can remove the fear and risk that keep nonprofits from saying yes. Along the way, Bruce shares compelling stories of donors who transformed highly appreciated property into major gifts, creating stronger family legacies and much greater impact than a cash gift alone might have allowed.
