In the latest episode of Speaking of Purpose by Benevity season 4, we're joined by two exceptional guests: Victoria Vrana, CEO of Global Giving, and Michael Thatcher, CEO of Charity Navigator.

Nonprofits are facing a turning point. As government funding shifts and donor behavior evolves, the sector stands at a fork in the road, forced to rethink how it stays financially healthy and mission-focused.

Tune in to hear Victoria and Michael unpack:

  • The growing strain on nonprofit budgets.

  • The risks of relying solely on private philanthropy.

  • The rise of community-led giving models.

We explore the warning signs, the opportunities, and what it will take to build lasting resilience in a changing funding landscape.
