NGO A Go Go
Listen to Our Latest Podcasts
. . . ’cause if you’re in nonprofits, you know, we just go
We aspire for this to be truth telling by, for and about the nonprofit sector. After a brief “new grandparent hiatus”, we will return to a monthly sharing of stories about the people, the drama, the dynamics of the nonprofit sector. The genesis of this podcast show was pre-COVID, but obviously we continue to navigate this moment , and many of the first shows honor that reality. The show focuses on the guests — occasionally consists of a quick review of news and books, “blue” to “red”connections, and quizzes for people that work in nonprofits. The podcast name? Get one thing right, if you are in a nonprofit, you just “go”.
