Reimagining Impact: The Power Of Coalition Building And Regenerative Thinking With Stephen Minix

About this episode

Stephen Minix discusses the importance of data serving communities and the challenges in nonprofit reporting.

Validation is not the same as learning — and most nonprofit reporting is built around the former, not the latter. Stephen Minix, VP of Community at UpMetrics and former basketball coach in Watts, joins Care More Be Better to name the extractive dynamics quietly holding back philanthropic impact, and to make the case that data should serve communities rather than flow upward to justify a funder's investment decisions.
