Description
For our 100th episode, we are excited to chat with the incomparable Vu Le of Nonprofit AF. Vu brings his unique blend of insight, humor, and a pinch of provocation to the table, all wrapped up in the perspectives you've come to know from his writing. Vu is a treasure trove of wisdom for the nonprofit world and his takes are all his own and don't necessarily reflect those of Alliance for Justice. A huge thank you for listening (and occasionally watching) our brand of spicy tax law for these 100 episodes, and what a better way to celebrate than with a guest who's not afraid to shake things up all in the name of progress and passion for the cause. Watch on the Bolder Advocacy YouTube Channel • Introduction to Vu Le: His background and approach to writing about the nonprofit sector. • Humor and Seriousness in Nonprofit Work: The balance between using humor and addressing serious topics in the sector. • Finding One's Voice in the Nonprofit Space: Advice on how to develop a unique voice and perspective. • Critiques of Nonprofit and Philanthropy Practices: Vu's views on overhead costs, salary transparency, lack of investment in advocacy, and the need for nonprofits to challenge conventional practices. • Role of Funders and Power Dynamics: Discussion on how funders influence the nonprofit sector, the concept of "funder fragility," and the push for transparency and honesty in grantmaking. • Advocacy and Legal Challenges: The importance of advocacy work, the challenges faced by nonprofits in political environments, and the need for legal support. • Celebrating Nonprofit Achievements: Acknowledgment of the sector's vital role in societal progress and the need for greater appreciation and support. • Predictions and Challenges for the Future: Reflections on the sector's future challenges, including political influences and the need for a unified response to societal issues.
