Description

I have Chris Baiocchi on the podcast with me today and I have known him probably my whole career in fundraising. Early on in my career when I didn't really know what I was doing, he offered to meet with me for coffee and it's been a joy to learn from him.
Chris has worked in the nonprofit space for more than 22 years as a communicator, fundraiser, and leader. He is the founder and CEO of Resolute Philanthropy, a consulting firm that provides nonprofit leaders with the tools and resources they need to thrive because a kinder, safer, healthier world needs engaged and effective nonprofits.
