A podcast tackling the challenging terrain nonprofits face today.
Now more than ever, nonprofit professionals need to share each other’s perspectives, skills and ideas. The nonprofit sector is overflowing with brilliant minds and determined hearts. And that’s exactly why we wanted to start this podcast.
Hosted by Molly Harper, a nonprofit consultant and Founder of Harper Consulting Group, Elevating Impact aims to empower nonprofit professionals as we navigate the uncharted territory that lies ahead. By chatting with nonprofit leaders who work at organizations throughout the United States as well as professionals in every sector, we can build an effective and durable infrastructure for good!
Our Three Paths to STAYbility are at the center of everything that we discuss in Elevating Impact. Nonprofits looking for a path forward will hear discussions about these ideas that we believe can serve as our industry’s north star. We talk to nonprofit leaders about their real-life experiences with programmatic & operational efficiency, financial agility, and shared efforts as well as the impact they are making in their communities and around the world.
