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.”
