The Power of Community in the Nonprofit Sector with Becky Endicott and John McCoy

What does it really take to build a thriving community in the nonprofit sector?

On this episode, I’m joined by Jon McCoy and Becky Endicott, co-founders of We Are For Good, a global nonprofit community and podcast dedicated to helping nonprofit professionals learn, grow, and lead with purpose. Through their platform, Jon and Becky have helped thousands of fundraisers and nonprofit leaders connect with one another, share ideas, and navigate a rapidly evolving sector.

We explore why community building has become such a critical need for nonprofit professionals, the biggest shifts happening in fundraising and communications today, and why storytelling and narrative power are more important than ever.

Jon and Becky share what they’ve learned from hundreds of conversations with nonprofit leaders, along with practical insights for organizations that want to strengthen their communities, communicate more effectively, and inspire supporters through authentic stories.

Whether you're a nonprofit leader, fundraiser, or communicator, this conversation offers thoughtful perspective on how connection and narrative can help move the sector forward.
