Your new (and improved) changemaker & nonprofit newsletter is coming! Introducing...


Hey Reader,

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Several people took my survey last month telling me what our growing changemaker community would like to see in a new and improved newsletter... So! Launching in July (right after the July 4 holiday in the U.S.), my past monthly newsletter is transforming into a super actionable weekly newsletter...

Changemaker Mondays
Accelerate your social impact in just 5 minutes a week

(Check out my announcement about this on LinkedIn, too!)

Come with me on a quick tour of what you can expect in Changemaker Mondays...


A Helpful, Actionable Article

Read time: 4 Minutes

Each edition of Changemaker Mondays will include a super-digestible, skimmable (is that a word?) article with actionable tips you can use right away.

I respect your time (we've got things to do -- like change the world!), so I'll include an estimated reading time for each newsletter (like you see above).

Changemaker Mondays is brought to you by:
