Join Social Enterprise Program Manager and Coach at Pillar Nonprofit Network, Mariam Waliji, as she connects with guests to talk about the "how"s and the "why"s of starting a business with community care at its core.
Mariam Waliji: Hey hi hello!
Welcome to Pollinating Purpose: A Caring Approach to Business! My name is Mariam Waliji, and I will be your host/guide/business bud on this new and exciting adventure of Pillar Nonprofit.
Pollinating Purpose is a new show all about supporting organizations who seek to create social impact through their work. Whether nonprofit, for-profit, or grassroots organizations, y’all will learn key considerations to building or growing your own social purpose businesses in a long-term and sustainable way. Alongside this learning, you will also get to hear the stories of other folks doing similar work in their own communities; you’ll hear about their sticky spots, the highlights, and the barriers they had to navigate to operate a business with community care at its core.
Our hope is to educate, inform, and inspire you on how to make the best decisions for you, your organization, and the community you seek to support. A just, equitable, and joyful future is possible when we centre care in the work that we do.
Thank you for coming along on this ride. I am so stoked you’re here.
