In This Episode

What if ethical transformation in the nonprofit sector doesn't start with policy, but with people? 

In this episode, Maria Bryan is joined by Diana Farias Heinrich, founder of the Ethical Nonprofit Summit, to explore how courage, connection, and accountability can reshape the way we fundraise, communicate, and lead.

This conversation isn't a checklist of best practices. It's a powerful reflection on what happens when we acknowledge our past harm, choose integrity over fear, and build spaces that remind us we are not alone in this work.
