Meet Dorri. When it comes to reimagining the nonprofit sector, she not only talks the talk but also walks the walk.

Under her leadership, the YWCA operating budget grew from $10.5 million to $38 million🤯👏She also led the effort in developing NYSE: WOMN, an exchange-traded fund (ETF) that supports women's empowerment, teaming up with Impact Shares - the first nonprofit investment advisor to create an ETF product. You might also recognize her from the UnCharitable film 🤩 Don’t miss this conversation. We're sure you'll leave this episode as inspired and motivated as we did!
