Jonathan Speaking
A panel on homelessness, nonprofit funding strategy, and what it actually takes to build sustainable community impact — recorded live in Broward County, 2026.
This conversation covers what most nonprofit conferences won't say out loud — what actually works when you remove the red tape, how to build a funding strategy that doesn't depend on government dollars, and why putting people first is the only path to sustainable impact. Jonathan speaks alongside fellow practitioners who have spent decades in the field.
Key Moments from the Panel
"We were the worst in the nation. Worse than California, worse than New York — everywhere that people said 'we don't want to be like them.' We're worse. So we decided — that's the population we're going to target."
"It's not a hand out, but a hand up. We don't believe in that. We believe in a hand in. If everyone has their hand in — then it makes light work."
"Government should be the gasoline on the fire — not the fire itself."
"It's just about putting the people first. And then the fundraising after that."
Over a decade in the field. A GPC credential. And a belief that the right funding strategy starts with the right story.
