Welcome back to 9️⃣ Nonprofit Trends that Matter in 2024 Series! How does a movement begin? Simple - with one person. Gone are the days of 'build it and they will come.'

Today, we're thrilled to have Brady Josephson, VP of Marketing & Growth at charity: water, as our special guest. Brady leads a team of storytellers, creatives, and marketers responsible for growing, supporting and celebrating the charity: water community and their impact. Join us as we dive into why we need a new approach to generosity 💡
