Our goal is to salute the stories of Non-Profit North Stars who energize your organizations with genuine purpose and have a gift to keep your organization moving in the right and uplifting direction of its noble mission.
The focus is on unsung heroes. We cherish those who make large donations that empower philanthropy to thrive, but in this instance, we are looking for your suggestions on those who make a difference in their communities more by their service, commitment and leadership to the rich missions in the non-profit sector that touch, improve and save more lives.
Please provide the information requested below and we will follow up with your nominees and make appropriate selections. A priority is to highlight truly a diverse cross-section of men and women who fuel the aspirations and achievements of non-profits from different sectors and all different parts of the country. Nominees may be professional staff, board members, volunteers, donors or others who propel the mission of the non-profit forward by their inspiring examples.
We will be announcing selections and sharing podcast interviews through our monthly e-newsletter and other Constant Contact communications, plus social media.

What if changing the story could change the system? In this episode of Jim Eskin's Nonprofit Northstars, Jim sits down with Amanda Navarro, Executive Director of Convergence Partnership, to explore the powerful connection between narrative, health equity, philanthropy, and community leadership. Amanda explains why lasting change requires more than policy reform—it requires challenging the narratives and mindsets that shape who has access to health, wealth, opportunity, and power. She also shares how communities can reclaim their stories, strengthen their collective voice, and drive meaningful change from the ground up. From healthcare inequities and the rising cost of medications to trust-based philanthropy and community narrative power, this conversation offers an inspiring look at how nonprofit leaders can help build a healthier, more equitable future. Listen in and discover why the stories we tell can shape the systems we live in. #NonprofitNorthstars #NonprofitLeadership #HealthEquity #SocialImpact #Philanthropy #CommunityPower #NarrativeChange #Nonprofits
