We Are For Good Podcast - The Podcast for Nonprofits 453. How to Harness Innovation to Scale Meaningful Impact (Replay) - Evan Feinberg
Meet Evan. This starry-eyed dreamer sought to change the world first through politics before pivoting into the nonprofit sector after finding his passion awakened in social service. In five years, his organization built one of the largest and most effective anti-poverty nonprofit communities in the country. Tune in and hear how the Stand Together Foundation viewed poverty as an innovation problem and began to look for solutions in new spaces to unleash human potential.
