We Are For Good Podcast - The Podcast for Nonprofits

Meet Sara Cunningham. She is an angry, organized mother. She's also the most loving, big-hearted human to offer 1,000s of strangers hugs. Listen in as Sara shares her journey working to advocate for the LGBTQ+ community after her own son's coming out had her questioning her faith. It's not as much an interview as a love letter from a mother to a son. Did we mention Jamie Lee Curtis is her new BFF and directing/starring in the Free Mom Hugs story on film? And discover why hope became the guiding light for this mighty nonprofit.

Meet Lenora Oeters. This Strategic Director of the American Cancer Society's Global Headquarters shares how the organization is creatively embracing virtual events in new and engaging ways. ACS was working through a $200M budget shortfall in light of COVID-19, but found great success when they adopted a smart three-pong philosophy toward renewed event fundraising. Lenora provides heaps of examples and tips to pivot for those nonprofits feeling paralyzed by the absence of in-person events. We even make a surprising discovery about her favorite musician. Tune in and take some great suggestions back to your events team.

Tune in and learn how Chris' desire to be neighborly in the aftermath of an EF5 tornado galvanized more than 10,000 volunteers to show up, clean up and cheer up one another in his hometown.

Meet Matt Hangen. Besides serving as the President & CEO of one of the world’s most forward-thinking water charities, Water4, he’s most well-known for being a tireless, selfless warrior to eradicate water scarcity around the globe. His journey from Alabama to Africa to Oklahoma is a TED talk-worthy story of enduring suffering that pales in comparison to the transformational hope he's been able to see - all because of clean water. His final goal: to put himself out of a job due to total global water coverage. He's serious.

Meet Jonathan McCoy, CFRE and Becky Endicott, CFRE. They consider themselves creative rebels with a heart to merge brilliant creativity with missions that improve our world for a life-changing result. Along the way, they're collecting stories and building community to uplift the nonprofit sector like never before. They're passionate yet deprecating. They like to keep it light, but also dive into vulnerable moments. They're chasing authenticity, creativity and humanity at a dead sprint. And ultimately, they're working to create an Impact Uprising that unleashes a new era of innovation, advancement and greater human kindness in the process.
