  Episode 174: Dave LeVan: When Nonprofits Merge: Leading Through Change Without Losing the Mission

  Aug 17, 202620 minS1

  What happens when a nonprofit merger becomes more than a possibility—and starts to become a reality? In this episode, I sit down with Dave LeVan, CEO of Water for Good, to explore the leadership realities of nonprofit mergers and acquisitions in a funding-constrained environment. We discuss how leaders can navigate a merger without losing sight of the mission, culture, or people who make the organization effective—and why strong Board and leadership buy-in is essential to turning a merger from a theoretical conversation into a successful reality. It’s a candid conversation about the opportunities, challenges, and leadership choices that can determine whether a nonprofit merger simply combines organizations—or creates something stronger.

  What if we could stop human trafficking before exploitation ever begins? In this episode, I speak with John Molineux, CEO & Founder of Love Justice International, about the organization’s innovative approach to disrupting human trafficking at the point of risk. Operating in more than 20 countries, Love Justice uses a transit-monitoring model to identify potential trafficking situations and intervene before individuals are exploited. John shares what they’ve learned about how trafficking happens, why traditional approaches often intervene too late, and how prevention, technology, and human connection can work together to disrupt trafficking networks and protect vulnerable people.

  Episode 170: Vanessa Wakeman: Communications as Governance

  Apr 8, 202622 minS1

  In this episode of Nonprofit Vision , Gregory Nielsen sits down with The Wakeman Agency CEO, Vanessa Wakeman, to explore why communications should be treated not as a “nice to have,” but as a core governance function within nonprofit organizations. Together, they unpack how communications intersects with legal, finance, and program strategy—and why elevating it to the governance level can fundamentally reshape how organizations build trust, engage stakeholders, and advance their mission. If your organization is still treating communications as an afterthought, this conversation offers a compelling case for rethinking its role as a strategic driver of impact.
