Trust and Transparency: What happened with GoFundMe's nonprofit pages?
This episode of First You Talk wasn't on our schedule of episodes...but after GoFundMe published nonprofit pages in October without the knowledge or consent of millions of organizations, we had to talk about it and its impact on trust and transparency in the nonprofit world.
Laurie discusses discovering Central Florida Foundation's nonprofit page and CFF's subsequent actions, then Steve (a newcomer to our team!) and Sandi talk about the implications.
Guests:
- Sandi Vidal, CFF's Vice President of Community Strategies and Initiatives
- Steven J. Jerina, CFF's Vice President of Philanthropic Strategies and Partnerships
