We Are For Good Podcast - The Podcast for Nonprofits 270. Pay, Leave and Power: The Nonprofit Pay Conversation - Evan Feinberg
Meet Evan. As the Stand Together Foundation Executive Director, he leads the charge on building replicable frameworks that disrupt, empower and accelerate doing good in the world. And he’s brought an entirely new playbook to the convo of compensating nonprofits - and compensating them big-time - and we want you to have it. We’ve all heard the phrase “I won’t make a lot in nonprofit, but I love having a career with meaning.” NO MORE. Tune in to get the frameworks, negotiation tips and script to help you build a strong case for better pay. Those who pour into others should be incentivized for their work - not handed scraps. Let’s elevate and equalize!
