Les mer Empower Hour

Hey there, changemakers and do-gooders! 👋 Are you ready to supercharge your nonprofit or philanthropic efforts? Then you’re in the right place! Hosted by Carina Martin (yes, that’s me!), Empower Hour is your monthly dose of inspiration, practical advice, and maybe a few mom jokes (sorry, not sorry). We’re here to navigate the wild world of nonprofits together, one empowering hour at a time. What’s on the menu, you ask? Oh, just a smorgasbord of nonprofit goodness. From tech talks to capital campaigns, we’ll cover it all.Join us each week as we chat with nonprofit rockstars, share laugh-out-loud stories, and dish out actionable advice faster than you can say ”tax-deductible donation.”Remember, in the nonprofit world, we don’t just think outside the box – we recycle it, repurpose it, and use it to build a better tomorrow. So tune in, turn up, and let’s make some good together!
