NEW PODCAST SERIES COMMENCING 2027
BUILD WHAT GROWS
Real conversations with nonprofit and purpose-led leaders about growing support, impact and the teams behind them.
ABOUT THE SHOW
Build What Grows is a podcast for the people doing the work. Executive directors, development leads and founders who are growing donors, programmes and teams with fewer resources than the job really needs.
Each episode is an honest conversation. What's working, what's harder than it should be, and what you'd tell a peer leader who is just starting out.
What we talk about
A real conversation
How lean teams find, keep and deepen donor relationships.
Protecting time for the mission
Where reporting, follow-up and admin pull leaders away, and what helps.
Building the team
Growing programmes and people without burning anyone out.
These are starting points, not a script. At heart every conversation is about winning hearts and minds and turning them into lasting support. Where it goes from there is up to you, from leading through change to working with your board, campaigns, partnerships and the ideas you're testing now.
