How to Boost Philanthropy Through Servant-Leadership with Evan Wildstein


Listen Later

We know that nonprofits do amazing work. Every single day, they deliver life-changing programs, research, and more to impact communities, regions, and the world. Philanthropy supercharges nonprofits to go forward — but it’s often about more than money. It’s about trust. It’s about storytelling. It’s about big relationships. It’s about doing the right thing. It’s about meaningful conversations. 

The concept of servant-leadership inspires all this and more - and that is the focus of a new book on philanthropy, The Nonprofiteer’s Field Guide: 30 Practical Ways to Boost Philanthropy Through Servant-leadership. My guest today is the author of this book and long-time nonprofit professional, Evan Wildstein.

In this episode, Evan and I discuss: 

  • What a “nonprofiteer” is and who falls in this category
  • The concept of “servant-leadership” and why nonprofits should embrace it
  • How servant-leadership is different from other forms of leadership, and how nonprofits can incorporate it in their own fundraising work 
  • Trends in the sector and how to adapt
