Ep. 90 Sleep in Heavenly Peace: How One Bed Can Change a Child's Life with Luke Mickelson
What if one of the greatest barriers to a child's success is something many of us take for granted—a bed? In this episode of Money to Give, Rick Peck sits down with Luke Mickelson, founder of Sleep in Heavenly Peace (SHP), to discuss the hidden crisis of child bedlessness and how one simple act of generosity can transform a child's life. What began as a small Christmas project in Luke's Idaho community has grown into the world's largest bed-building charity, with hundreds of chapters working to ensure that no child sleeps on the floor. Along the way, Luke shares the powerful stories that inspired the movement and why a safe place to sleep is about so much more than a mattress.<br /><br />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."<br /><br />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.<br /><br /><b>Contact Rick Peck:</b><br />Website:<a href="https://www.thephilanthropyguy.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> https://www.thephilanthropyguy.com</a><br />Email: ThePhilanthropyGuy@gmail.com<br />Book A call:<a href="https://calendar.app.google/axpBWYbMzZ4UY8tK8" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Rick Peck's Calendar</a><br />Sign Up For Charitable Giving Newsletter:<a href="https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/sl/o0P5UEI/thephilanthropyguy?source_type=lipo&source_id=670802ff-63ae-4cdc-ba37-15128b8e7e78&source_id=6b99ddc9-ad10-41eb-9ad3-f8bfc44de192&source_type=em&c=Qkt52a7LhPPWyffw4A6HpBLdRd16qiwN5qs98FATJL5iWkzcjgkK3Q==" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Charitable Giving Newsletter</a><br />LinkedIn:<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/richard-peck/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Richard Peck</a><br /><br /><b>Contact Luke Mickelson:</b><br />Website:<a href="https://shpbeds.org/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> https://shpbeds.org</a><br />Email: luke.mickelson@shpbeds.org<br />LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/shpluke/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Luke Mickelson</a>

Ep. 89 Why Passion Isn't Enough: Building Stronger Nonprofits Through Leadership and Strategy with David Rhode
What does it take to build a nonprofit that lasts? In this episode of Money to Give, Rick Peck sits down with David Rhode, nonprofit consultant, speaker, and author of Passion Isn't Enough, to explore why a compelling mission must be supported by strong leadership, sound strategy, and operational excellence. Drawing on years of experience coaching nonprofit leaders, David explains why passion may inspire an organization, but sustainable impact requires intentional planning, engaged boards, thoughtful fundraising, and disciplined execution.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br /><b>Contact Rick Peck:</b><br />Website:<a href="https://www.thephilanthropyguy.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> https://www.thephilanthropyguy.com</a><br />Email: ThePhilanthropyGuy@gmail.com<br />Book A call:<a href="https://calendar.app.google/axpBWYbMzZ4UY8tK8" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Rick Peck's Calendar</a><br />Sign Up For Charitable Giving Newsletter:<a href="https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/sl/o0P5UEI/thephilanthropyguy?source_type=lipo&source_id=670802ff-63ae-4cdc-ba37-15128b8e7e78&source_id=6b99ddc9-ad10-41eb-9ad3-f8bfc44de192&source_type=em&c=Qkt52a7LhPPWyffw4A6HpBLdRd16qiwN5qs98FATJL5iWkzcjgkK3Q==" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Charitable Giving Newsletter</a><br />LinkedIn:<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/richard-peck/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Richard Peck</a><br /><br /><b>Contact David Rhode:</b><br />Website:<a href="https://dotdotorg.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> https://dotdotorg.com</a><br />LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/david-rhode-1129183/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">David Rhode</a><br />Book: <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DLLBB3W2?lv=shuf&channelId=500&plpRedirect=mhFallback" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Passion Isn't Enough</a>

Ep. 88 Giving with Intention: How Donor-Advised Funds Can Transform Generosity with Michael Dunlap
What if one of the greatest barriers to generosity isn't a lack of resources, but a lack of time and clarity? In this episode of Money to Give, Rick Peck sits down with Michael Dunlap, Vice President and Relationship Manager at National Christian Foundation, to discuss how donor-advised funds can help donors move from reactive giving to intentional generosity. Drawing from his work with individuals and families across the country, Michael explains how reducing the pressure around charitable giving creates space for deeper purpose, better planning, and greater impact.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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.<br /><b><br />Contact Rick Peck:</b><br />Website:<a href="https://www.thephilanthropyguy.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> https://www.thephilanthropyguy.com</a><br />Email: ThePhilanthropyGuy@gmail.com<br />Book A call:<a href="https://calendar.app.google/axpBWYbMzZ4UY8tK8" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Rick Peck's Calendar</a><br />Sign Up For Charitable Giving Newsletter:<a href="https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/sl/o0P5UEI/thephilanthropyguy?source_type=lipo&source_id=670802ff-63ae-4cdc-ba37-15128b8e7e78&source_id=6b99ddc9-ad10-41eb-9ad3-f8bfc44de192&source_type=em&c=Qkt52a7LhPPWyffw4A6HpBLdRd16qiwN5qs98FATJL5iWkzcjgkK3Q==" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Charitable Giving Newsletter</a><br />LinkedIn:<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/richard-peck/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Richard Peck</a><br /><b></b><br /><b>Contact Michael Dunlap:</b><br />Website:<a href="https://www.ncfgiving.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> </a>https://www.ncfgiving.com/orlando/<br />LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-dunlap-9b8328b0/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Michael Dunlap</a>
