Welcome to the Just Be Cause Podcast, a beacon of inspiration in the nonprofit space dedicated to exploring the intricate tapestry of causes that shape our world - from the animal kingdom to our environment, and ultimately, to us.
I'm Katherine Lacefield, your host, with two decades of experience navigating the nonprofit sector, with a special fondness for animal and environmental causes. Together, we'll delve into the heartening stories of nonprofits fearlessly bridging causes, share practical, hands-on advice on fundraising, and underline the critical role collaboration plays in any successful fundraiser.
The Just Be Cause Podcast is more than just a podcast; it's a movement challenging the scarcity mindset that's become all too common. It's about empowering nonprofits to reclaim their power, discover their true purpose, and use mindfulness to turn dream solutions into reality.

Hey, incredible changemakers!
This week on the Just Be Cause Podcast, we sit down with internationally recognized volunteer expert Karen Knight for an energizing conversation all about the untapped power of volunteers in the nonprofit sector.
We’re peeling back the curtain on classic misconceptions—why do so many organizations feel like they have a “recruitment problem,” when what they really face is a retention or engagement challenge? Should you really try to keep every volunteer forever? And how can collaboration, flexibility, and a little creativity turn your volunteer program from a black hole into a launchpad for lasting impact?
From funny tales about baby penguin cuddling (it’s not what you think!) to bold ideas like a “volunteer passport,” we break down concrete strategies for onboarding, recognition, and nurturing genuine relationships with your supporters.
Whether you’re just starting a volunteer program or looking to take yours to the next level, you’ll discover why people—not just dollars—are your most important asset.
Ready to rethink everything you know about volunteer management? Tune in for fresh perspectives, practical tools, and a healthy dose of inspiration!
