This week on Giving Done Right, we’re introducing you to another podcast we love: Nonprofits Now: Leading Today, from The Chronicle of Philanthropy. In this episode, two leaders, Kathleen St. Louis Caliento and Nick Grono, join Chronicle CEO Stacy Palmer to explain how they have engaged their board in financial efforts. 
As nonprofits face economic headwinds — including losses in federal funding, rising costs, and the possibility of a global recession — nonprofit boards play an increasingly essential role. Trustees help with strategy and can also be powerful donors and fundraisers. Yet fewer than a quarter of respondents to a Chronicle survey described their board members as enthusiastic fundraisers. 
Grono and St. Louis Caliento share their advice on how to inspire boards to champion your mission and share insights from their shared experience of working with trustees to manage unrestricted, multimillion-dollar grants from MacKenzie Scott. 
St. Louis Caliento runs<a href="https://caracollective.org/"> Cara Collective</a>, a Chicago nonprofit that helps low-income people find jobs. Grono heads the<a href="https://www.freedomfund.org/"> Freedom Fund</a>, an organization that pools funds from donors who want to fight modern-day slavery. He’s the author of<a href="https://bookshop.org/p/books/how-to-lead-nonprofits-turning-purpose-into-impact-to-change-the-world-nick-grono/20706747"> “How to Lead Nonprofits: Turning Purpose into Impact to Change the World</a>,” published in 2024.
