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.
