Join me and Heather Nelson (Corporate Sponsorship and Partnership Specialist) on Wednesday, September 16 for a conversation about how employee volunteering can become a meaningful part of your corporate partnership strategy. We’ll explore how nonprofits can design employee volunteer experiences that are impactful for the community, valuable for employees, and aligned with the goals of corporate partners. 

This FREE chat will be hosted on Zoom as part of CharityVillage's Volunteer Week

The most generous donors usually show up in multiple ways before writing a big cheque... this idea is foundational to Perry Radford's Holistic Donor Engagement, and she broke it down beautifully in a two-part guest series for my blog.

Part 1 explores why traditional fundraising leaves so much on the table.


Part 2 gets into each Act of Giving and how to actually put this model into practice.

Katy Rodriguez Botello interviewed me about my work in volunteer engagement, asking thought-provoking questions that helped me reflect on why I do what I do. We talk about hard conversations that nonprofits avoid, volunteer motivations, and some of my goals for 2026. Enjoy! 

In this post, I sit down with Yemilo Audu to chat about volunteer training design, how to make it inclusive, and how tech sometimes gets in the way. 

I had so much fun facilitating this webinar for CanadaHelps on peer-to-peer fundraising! Check it out and learn how to apply volunteer stewardship principles to supporting community fundraisers. 

Terra Loire Gillespie and I built this FREE guide full of practical tools, rich insights, and equity focused strategies. Inside you’ll find:

  • Welcome email series that centre volunteer experience over organizational needs

  • Engagement surveys that treat listening as leadership

  • Flexible opportunities that accommodate varying capacity and availability

  • Privacy practices that build trust while ensuring compliance

Let's connect on LinkedIn! This is where you can find me online most often: reposting my fave thought leaders, talking about ethical stewardship, and sending heart emojis 💖

I'm sharing short advice and insight vids with my signature sass. You'll also get surprise appearances from my cat Junior.
