What role do leaders play in the success of nonprofits and how can donors better support effective nonprofit leaders?
Yolanda Coentro is president and CEO of the Institute for Nonprofit Practice, which works to equip social impact leaders across the country with the skills, resources, networks, and confidence they need to advance their organizations and missions, creating a more equitable future for all.
Coentro joins Phil Buchanan and Grace Nicolette to talk about her journey to leadership and the unique set of challenges that nonprofit leaders face.
They also discuss funding burnout, the role of identity as a leader, and dynamics that prioritize programs over people.
