Hold Fast: Creating Space for Trust and Alignment in Funding - Iara Peng, JustFund
Description
In this episode of our Hold Fast series, we’re leaning into what it really means to lead with purpose—especially when the weight of funding pressures feels unrelenting. Iara Peng joins us for a heart-opening conversation that invites nonprofit leaders to breathe a little deeper and reimagine funding as a partnership, not just a transaction.
With compassion and clarity, Iara offers a vision for building trust-based relationships rooted in alignment and shared purpose. You’ll walk away with practical ways to pause the hustle, reclaim time for strategic thinking, prioritize fewer but better-aligned funders, and lean into storytelling as a spacious, powerful tool. It’s the reminder we all need: you are already enough. Your work matters. And there’s a more intentional, more human way forward. 💛
Homework:
- What originally called me to this work?
- Where do I feel most alive and aligned in my work right now?
- What does it look like for me to lead with trust and not fear this week?
- Bonus: at your next team or board meeting, bring one of those questions and invite reflection.
