One Big Boat, "We're all in this together," is a podcast devoted to non-profits. Each episode will feature an interview with a leader of a non-profit organization.
Explore the reason they exist, their mission, their struggles, and what the future holds for them. Some may be made up of a few people, while others might be part of a national organization. But — all are making a difference in our world.
