Good Nonsense

Race, age & boundaries — with Jonah Nigh

Listen Later

On this episode we’re joined by Jonah Nigh—part fundraiser, part stand up comic (yes, seriously), part TV star (yes, again, seriously), and more. Having been at the helm of many organizations’ philanthropy programs, Jonah gets real about things that make most nonprofiteers uncomfortable.

Along the way we dive into —

  • The life of a fundraiser of color
  • Real boundaries… and setting them
  • Fundraising as a profession, not a function
  • What to do when a donor wants to touch your hair
  • One wish Jonah would make to improve the social sector

    • It’s practical, it’s honest, and (as always) there’s good nonsense along the way. If you know a nonprofiteer we should invite on the show, let us know at [email protected]!
