Episode 30 – Should Money Talk? Inequities in Funding and Influence in the Nonprofit Sector They say money talks. Is this true for the nonprofit sector, where a relatively small number of large charities receive the lion’s share of available funding?

In this episode of CharityVillage Connects, we take a closer look at the impact this inequitable power dynamic has on the sector, the problems it causes, and what can be done about it.
