Description

Is it innovation if it doesn’t have sustainability built in?

That’s the bold question at the heart of this conversation between your host, Dave Raley, and guest Becky Straw, Co-Founder and CEO of The Adventure Project.

Together, they challenge the nonprofit sector’s obsession with short-term wins and one-time donations, and make the case for deeper, more sustainable change. 

Drawing on Becky’s early work with charity: water and her decade-plus leading The Adventure Project, this episode explores how job creation, dignity, and recurring giving can reframe how we approach generosity and build true sustainability.

Key Topics They Cover:

1. Redefining Sustainability in the Nonprofit Sector

2. The Power of Job Creation as a Sustainable Solution

3. Growing Sustainable Giving Through Innovation and Trust

4. Experiencing and Modeling the Joy of Generosity

5. Applying Social Work Principles to Nonprofit Leadership
