Welcome to How to Build a Nonprofit
If you’ve ever wondered what it really takes to start a nonprofit, you’re in the right place.
This newsletter is an extension of the How to Build a Nonprofit podcast, where I sit down with nonprofit founders who are doing the work—feeding communities, supporting reentry, advocating for policy change, building peace, and so much more.
What you’ll find here:
Every week, I talk with founders who turned personal experience into organizational impact. They share the real stories: the moments that sparked their mission, the challenges they didn’t see coming, and the strategies that actually work.
In this newsletter, you’ll get:
Grants and fellowships you can apply to
Behind-the-scenes context on the organizations we feature
Practical takeaways for anyone building or working in the nonprofit space
Who this is for:
Whether you’re thinking about starting a nonprofit, already running one, or just curious about the people creating change in their communities—this is for you.
What’s next:
Subscribe to get weekly nonprofit breakdowns, founder spotlights, and the stories that don’t make it into the podcast delivered straight to your inbox.
Let’s build something.
