I appreciate Rusty's voice!
Rusty's voice in the nonprofit/philanthropy space is invaluable! He's always been a wise leader - grounded and connected - and his Fund The People pod should be the queue.

Connection nonprofits to philanthropic trends
This is one of the few podcasts that I listen to within a week of the episode drop. Why? Because the information and thought leadership are so important. Thanks to Rusty and the team for bringing newer trends to the forefront of critical funding conversations.

Top 3 nonprofit podcast resources
The Fund the People podcast is one of my top 3 resources as a nonprofit grant writer/communications person/leader and a masters in public health candidate. These conversations are so important to keep widening the sector’s understanding of what the way forward can look like!

Important information and perspective
Everyone connected to nonprofits in any way - funders, workers, philanthropists, gov’t leaders at all levels, for-profit leaders, those in need, and those concerned about improving the greater good, should be listening to Fund the People.

Elevating the unsung trailblazers
I appreciate that the people highlighted on this show are not the same folks making the headlines in the philanthro-sphere. It’s great to learn about nonprofit leaders whose work is groundbreaking - whether its national or hyper local!

Finally
…a podcast about one of the most critical drivers of nonprofit success that most people have not thought much about. Rusty has brought together a wide range of interesting thinkers and perspectives on the topic of talent investing and makes you realize we should have been doing this work a long time ago. Not to worry. Rusty will help get you caught up.

Finally—a podcast for the (nonprofit) people!
As someone who has worked in and with nonprofits for two decades, it’s been a long time coming: a podcast that articulates clearly and succinctly exactly what has been swirling around in my mind, unspoken for years—then moves the conversation forward. I love the idea of frank dialogue between forward-facing funders and those on the ground doing the work, and I’m looking forward to new episodes!
