Nonprofit fam, you do not want to miss this one.
On the latest episode of Nonprofit Lowdown, I sit down with the brilliant, bold, and beautifully authentic Jacob Adams — founder + CEO of Inner Spark — to talk about what it really means to lead and fundraise with authenticity. 🙌🏽🔥
We go deep on:
Being unapologetically real in funder relationships
Why authenticity isn't just a buzzword — it's a strategy
Navigating political + environmental uncertainty while staying rooted in equity
Fundraising as relationship-building, not performance
Jacob drops truth bombs about compliance culture in schools, the myth of professionalism, and why he refuses to "obey in advance." You’ll laugh, you’ll nod, you’ll probably rewind a few times.
