Episode Details

What if the thing standing between your nonprofit and a million dollar gift wasn't your programming, your data or even your ask, but your story?

Emmy Award-winning journalist and StoryLede founder Bofta Yimam is here to talk about why stepping into visibility is no longer optional for nonprofit leaders. She shares a powerful example of a leader who landed international speaking gigs, doubled her organization’s revenue, and later received a $1M gift.

We break down how to use LinkedIn to reach donors and board members, how to turn your story into content that builds trust, and why visibility is a leadership responsibility. The real question is: are you willing to push past the discomfort and step into the visibility game?
