Special Episode: PART TWO
If you caught our Monday episode, you knew something big was coming—and today’s the day we finally get to share it. We Are For Good is joining the Givebutter family! 🩵 💛
We're joined by Givebutter’s Co-founder & CEO, Max Friedman, to unpack the heart, the why, and the how behind this partnership. This community has always been about democratizing access—to ideas, tools, and connection—and now, together with Givebutter, we’re taking that mission to new heights. You’ll hear the behind-the-scenes story, the moments that made us believe this was meant to be, and how together, we’re building the world’s most loved and trusted home for changemakers—a place where the best nonprofit software, content, and community are accessible to all 🌍
We’ve always said this movement isn’t about us—it’s about you. So come celebrate, dream with us, and get ready for what’s next. Because friends, this is only the beginning ✨
