Put Your Money Where You Mouth Is!

Welcome back! I hope your 2024 is off to a healthy and nurturing start.  We’re kicking off this first episode of the season with a focus on money. Delving into what’s possible when organizations align financial objectives with their mission and values.I’m thrilled to welcome Dana Britto, Founder & Principal of Cultivar Consulting.  Dana is a bold champion for greater equity within nonprofit management and philanthropy.  Her expertise as a Lender and Board Treasurer help organizations strengthen financial management systems which ultimately empowers leaders, teams, and the communities they serve. Join us as we explore the critical intersection of equity and financial practices, and how embedding equity into financial decision-making fosters a more inclusive and just workplace.In this episode, we discuss:➡️ The common barriers nonprofits face when discussing finances, including our own personal trauma and negative associations tied to money and systemic oppression.➡️ The criticality for open dialogue between Finance and other functions (including your Board) which fosters mutual understanding rather than siloed decision-making.➡️  The power of storytelling to build trust and financial transparency within and outside your organization.Thank you for being a part of The Intersection Podcast community!  Stay tuned for more thought-provoking conversations, as we explore what’s possible when we commit to more equitable and just workplaces.Resources: Dana Britto Linkedin
