“Well, I think Obama and his presidential campaign really showed that a $5 contribution when brought together with millions of other $5 contributions can actually make a big difference. And that is an equalizing of philanthropy that we're seeing that is really exciting because it's giving ordinary citizens the feeling that they can give back. I remember being a young professional saddled with student loan debt and feeling.”

“To social causes. Absolutely. Lastly, are we going to, like, when you think about what happened with the Facebook thing with races, is that the way big funding is going to happen from now on in these moments of boom? It happened in Haiti. It happens on Twitter or wherever. Is that the way fundraising is going to go in the future where there'll be these big, large... Explosions of fundraising or not?”

“She also does a lot of artistic and social media things that have a really interesting thing. They did a Carnegie Arena, the VR experience. They funded that, what it's like to be an immigrant, which I thought was very moving. Absolutely. They did this photography project that got very viral, where they put pictures of all the immigrants in front of like Mitch McConnell's office, like giant photographs of immigrants. Amazing. Just to see who they're. And I thought that was, everyone was like, oh, it's always time like, no, it's not. It's a visual representation so people can't look away.”

“This preschool that is helping kids recover from adverse childhood experiences. I'm also a huge fan of the Emerson Collective. I think that learning health has done a fantastic job of not just investing in the causes that she cares about, but using her voice and realizing that her voice on immigration issues is going to be equally as powerful as any money that she can give to nonprofit organizations. So you will see her in the halls of Congress advocating for immigration reform legislation and that is a really important role that philanthropists, big and small can also”

“Yeah, and so it's the multi year grants, it's the capacity building, it's investing in all these strategies that I talk about in social startup success, like management training, like fundraising, like storytelling. They bring in a media coach to help their nonprofits because media coaching shouldn't be something that's just relegated to companies. I mean, this is something that nonprofits arguably need just as much. And so by investing in the nonprofits that they support, I think that ultimately they're able to show better results. And I hope that tipping point will be a model that other philanthropies will learn from and individual donors as well.”

“I'm a huge fan of tipping point. I know that you've had a founder on the show. When I went out and I asked organizations, who is your favorite funder and why tipping point came up most often because of the fact that they give multi-year grants that nonprofits don't have to worry about whether they're going to get funded next year? And it leads to a more honest conversation. I mean, this is a big problem in the sector. There's no incentive to talk about failure when you have to get funded. And yet anyone from the tech sector knows that failure is a critical part.”

“I'm really hopeful about the next phase of giving. I really believe that we are living in a golden age of philanthropy where there are more ways to give back than ever before. I mean, we see this with ordinary citizens giving back the RICES fundraiser on Facebook. We see this with people who are giving their time. People don't just want to write a check and be done. They want to roll up their sleeves and get involved in the nonprofits that they care about. This is what's happening in the racist. People are saying, yeah, no, I don't want to just write a check. Now what can I do? And so we need all hands on deck to solve these really pressing social problems that we're facing, like climate change, like increasing wealth inequality. And so I think the fact that more people want to get involved.”

“Absolutely. And I think that there's a lot of old school nonprofits out there that need to renovate. They need to clean house and think about doing new, taking new approaches like measuring the impact of their work more rigorously so they can figure out what's working and what's not and get better at what they do. But this isn't rocket science. The strategies that I talk about in this book are not new. They're just what the best organizations are doing.”

“Thinking about new ways to approach philanthropy, but let's not forget that there are people who have been on the ground.

“Yeah, yeah, there's a story that they tell where this donor spent was making an incredible contribution, a $10 million gift to a nonprofit. He spent a year trying to negotiate what the terms of the gift would be. And finally, ultimately gave the gift. He was at his Harvard reunion with a bunch of guys and, you know, had planned to give a certain amount, but saw what everybody else was giving. And, you know, by the end of the night, he made a $25 million gift on this bot. To Harvard. To Harvard. There's a lot of poor people. They need the money. So, you know, I think that there is this scrutiny of nonprofits that we don't see in higher education institutions and other places where people contribute their money. And I think that people need to take it upon themselves to understand how they can give back to people.”

“It's a very exciting time in philanthropy. So, about 2% of our country's GDP goes to philanthropy, about 340 billion dollars. And so this is a huge investment that big foundations like OMIDIR Gates and others are making in social causes. And they're doing it in new ways. They're investing in this very kind of social innovation that we're talking about, new ideas that are being applied to social causes that are allowing for scale like we've never seen. And so that's all really exciting. What I think is challenging as new donors think about ways to make a difference, a couple of things. One is that we forget about the poverty in our own backyard. We are living in a valley of billionaires and yet one in six children goes”

“I think those reports get sensationalized, but all of these strategies that we talk about in social startup success, that's overhead. That's capacity building. That's investing in nonprofit leaders to do the work on the social causes that we care about. And so there's a great TED talk by Dan Poloto where he talks about the overhead myth and how we do need to invest in overhead because that's all the R&D and the marketing that gets companies off the ground. That's a really we need the same kind of investment in social causes.”

“It's really hard, and it goes back to the fact that donors are not investing in nonprofits to give them the tools they need to make a difference. So 80% of nonprofits, of philanthropy in this country is restricted. That means that those donations have to go to certain programs, let's say if it's a reading program, it can only go to the reading program. It can't go to what donors might call overhead expenses. We would never go into a restaurant and say, I'll pay for the food, but definitely not paying for the plate or the chef's time to prepare it or the electricity to keep the lights on. And yet we do that with nonprofits all the time. Somehow we feel entitled to restrict our donations to the part that feels good, like teaching a kid to read, but not all of the components that go as many.”

“She didn't feature Nadine. We were all like, wait a second, you should have been on Oprah. And she said, no, no, no, no, no. That's impact. When other people are using your story and not attributing it to you, you have changed the conversation. And so I think it's that egolistness that makes organizations and leaders so powerful.”

“Yeah, the couple who wanted to raise $1,500 on Facebook for rights. They did help bring families back together who were being separated at the border. And, you know, within one week, raised $20 million. That is the power of technology and social media to help social causes. And that is allowing philanthropy to take shapes and forms that we've never seen before. That's very exciting. It is not the only way to have a COSGO viral. The Center for Youth Wellness, for example, uses Google Analytics to see how they've changed the conversation by seeing how many times people are Googling ACE. And Nadine Berkaris was talking about how Oprah had on 60 Minutes this talk about ACEs.”

“That is a level of commitment that we see in storytelling, and it's not just for founders, it's also for staff or your board members who can be incredible champions for your cause. Everybody needs the tools to be a brand ambassador for an organization. And the onus is on the nonprofit organizations to put those tools in.”

“Storytelling. Yeah. So I think we all have this tendency to think that, you know, someone who gives a great TED talk, a great political speech, gets up there and they're just such a natural. And when I went out and talked with these leaders, it's not natural at all. It comes from a lot of practice. And they realize that you cannot build a movement if you can't tell a good story. So for example, Nadine Burkharis, who founded the Center for Youth Wellness, had the opportunity to give a TED talk about ACES. This was the talk of her life because she realized she could shift the conversation if she could make this go viral. And so she talks about how at the end of six months preparing for this speech, her husband literally could have given the speech for her because she had given it so many times across the dining room table.”

“The other strategy that these organizations use is collective leadership. So they're flipping this, the traditional hierarchy of the CEO being on top and putting their staff up front in the book I talk about Jim Nordstrom, who did this famously at Nordstrom, The Nordstrom Way. He talked about how customers should be first and the people who are closest to those customers, the salespeople on the floor, are the people who have the most control over the outcome. And so, nonprofit leaders also realize that they cannot do it all themselves. And although we are in this world where we revere our leaders, like we equate Facebook with Mark Zuckerberg, we equate microfinance with Mohammed Yunus, that actually the best nonprofits tap into the talents of their entire staff to leverage their talents and to keep them engaged.”

“Racial justice issues, human rights. You know, people aren't going to be paying for their human rights if they can't afford the bus to get to the courthouse in the first place. So philanthropy is not dead, but where organizations can bring in earned income, it can be very useful.”

“Textbook charity, take donations and give services and then come back in a year and get your donation renewed. That's not beyond Big Gala. That's not very sustainable. And so organizations like Hotbread Kitchen and New York, which are using bread recipes from low-income women to help both train them to go into jobs in the food industry and then sell the bread to sustain the organization itself are finding ways to bring in earned income, hot bread kitchen has a cafe. They do wholesale to Whole Foods and JetBlue. And they have an incubator for small businesses from the food industry. So this is really exciting that these organizations are able to survive beyond just philanthropic dollars.”

“I think the challenge is that nonprofit leaders go into this work because they care about the causes, not because they're data scientists. And I think, you know, as someone personally who's a little bit of a data foe, I can relate to that. And I think what nonprofits have to realize is that it doesn't have to be this big, complicated thing. You can just figure out the two or three things that matter, like Braven did and go after them rigorously, and also leverage the help of tech companies and data scientists who do know what they're doing. This is something that nonprofits have also been doing well.”

“One organization that has done this well is Braven, an organization that helps college students who are from low income backgrounds learn soft skills like networking and resume building. When they had their first cohort of freshmen, they needed to know whether they were having an impact early on. They couldn't wait for years to see if these students were graduating. So they tested proxies like were those kids going to class as a proxy for whether they would ultimately graduate. They asked their mentors if they would recommend them for jobs as a proxy for whether they would ultimately get a job. And by using this data to show that they were on track towards graduating their students at faster rates and getting them jobs at faster rates, they were then ultimately able to tweak their program so that they could be as effective as possible and grow the program by getting the confidence of the donors that they needed to get to that next level.”

“And so she really figured out how to tweak the engine before she began to run it. So doing things like figuring out how to get better scholarship money so that the cost would be lower, how to engage the kids in the fundraising themselves so that they could get that skill. And this is really drawing on a lot of the lean startup principles that we see in the Silicon Valley, the minimum viable product, figuring out how to test, measure, build. And by drawing on some of these Silicon Valley practices, she was able to scale this organization to be a multimillion dollar organization that has served thousands of students across the country.”

“So, an example would be Beth Schmidt, who founded Wishbone. It's a crowdfunding platform for low-income kids to get involved in extracurricular activities. And so when she was teaching in a low-income school in Los Angeles, she realized that her kids didn't have these opportunities to follow their passions. She didn't go out and just start a nonprofit. She took the time to really identify what is the problem and how can I help with my solution. And so she assigned a paper asking them to write about their passions. And she photocopied that paper, sent it out to her friends and family, and said, would you give these kids money to follow their passions over the summer? And she got back thousands of dollars in the mail.”

“No, and yet that is the essence of philanthropy and nonprofits, to test small ideas so that we can use government to scale them for good. And the problem is that a lot of nonprofits get stuck on their individual solution and don't really take the time to investigate whether they are solving the problem in the most effective way so that organizations that continue to be innovative as they grow are the ones that are able to ensure that they're having the most impact.”

“To do that. Well, in my research, I found that it wasn't just charisma or a great idea that allowed a nonprofit to get ahead or not. I went out and I surveyed hundreds of nonprofit leaders. I sat down with 100 social entrepreneurs, with their staff, and asked them what the key was to their success. And it turns out that it's these five strategies that I talk about in the book, testing and innovation, measuring impact, collective leadership, fundraising, experimentation, and storytelling that allow organizations to lay the foundation for success.”

“To get ahead, like testing and innovation, measuring impact, fundraising more creatively, developing better ways of telling the story so that we can teach the next generation of nonprofits and the last generation of nonprofits how to be more effective.

“Nonprofits are struggling. So, my research showed that this wall that we hit at Spark, getting past $500,000 in revenue, is a real thing that two-thirds of nonprofits in the United States are $500,000 in revenue and below. And they are on this treadmill to constantly fundraise for payroll the next month when they should be focused on their impact. I mean, imagine if we expected that of CEOs, right? We're going to make you spend nonprofits who responded to my survey said that they spent 75% of their time on fundraising. Companies would never get anything done. And so we're basically expecting nonprofits to solve some of the hardest issues of our time, like climate change and increasing inequality with one hand tied behind their back. And so my book, Social Startup Success, is all about trying to figure out, well, what are the strategies that nonprofits are using?”

“All right, so talk a little bit about nonprofits themselves. When you're talking about social startup success, how have nonprofits change? Because when I was in Silicon Valley a couple of years ago, many years ago, I remember going to something, it was right near Kleiner Perkins, and they were helping nonprofits become more technical and do better. And it was sort of a hopeless cause because most of these nonprofits were stuck in some age that just doesn't exist anymore. To talk about things like the way nonprofits have moved.”

“Gen Z is even more committed. So, I'm going to go to the nonprofits themselves in a second, but I wanted to stick with companies for a minute. I would just interviewed Rose Marcario from Patagonia, for example. That's a heavy values-based company, even to the detriment of their own business, which seems to have gotten better the more committed they are to values, that certain values they have around whether it's suing the federal government over different things, over parklands and things like that, or being very strident against the government, against Trump particularly, or whatever, or saying don't buy our stuff, recycle it and things like that. It seems to have worked rather well for them.”

Consumers are also demanding products from companies that are values-based. So I think it's a really exciting time for philanthropy and to be involved in social.”

Shift to Google where I spoke that same week where the.org work has been integrated into the company from very early on. And there is a commitment to giving their engineers and their employees time to work on social cause work. The questions were very different and the opportunities to get back were so different. So for example, when the fires happen in Northern California, Google employees came to the table and said, you know, we realize that it's really hard for people to get information about where these fires are.

I have a lot of respect for Priscilla Chan and Mark Zuckerberg. been very committed to a lot of great social causes. But they're selling themselves short by not harnessing this incredible passion that their employees have. And so when I heard questions from the employees at Facebook, it was like,”
