Join us for this first ever crossover episode with Next in Nonprofits podcast! Steve Boland is the host of that program, "featuring tools, technologies and trends for nonprofit growth." Carl, Kristi & Steve talk about the questions and challenges approaching and supporting large donors in making choices around big gifts to charities. One option would be to create or give to an endowment - earning money for future needs. Another would be to invest in a "big swing" - spending a much larger amount of money all at once to create a larger-scale impact that in turn ripples over time.

Our hosts discuss the conversation with those donors, the focus of nonprofit boards in how to pursue larger-scale gifts, community-centric giving models and much more. We didn't solve all the world's problems in this show, but we sure gave it a shot!
