100. Melissa Jones: Where your donations are really going...

In this episode of @theslaypodcast non-profit consultant Melissa Jones and I talk about the complexities of charitable giving and nonprofit organizations, especially in the context of recent wildfires in Los Angeles. We discuss thoughtful giving and “disaster capitalism" and we highlight the importance of understanding long-term community needs. Melissa provides expert level practical advice on sustainable giving and community engagement, encouraging listeners to be intentional and informed in their charitable efforts in an attempt to help us understand how our donations are helping and hindering those in need.
