In the debut episode of the Data Bull Video Series, Matt Elliott sits down with Kristine Sloan, Executive Director of Leadership Triangle, to discuss the current state of the nonprofit sector across North Carolina’s Triangle region.

Together, they explore the growing challenges nonprofits are facing, including declining funding, increased demand for services, donor engagement shifts, burnout, collaboration opportunities, and the importance of measuring long-term community impact. Kristine shares insights from working with hundreds of nonprofits locally, while Matt brings perspective from Data Bull’s work helping organizations simplify and better utilize their data.

The conversation also dives into common misconceptions around nonprofit fundraising, how organizations can build stronger donor relationships, and why outcome-driven storytelling is becoming more important than ever in today’s funding environment.

Tune in for a practical and candid discussion for nonprofit leaders, fundraisers, and community organizations navigating change in a rapidly evolving sector!
