What if partnership is the most practical form of love? In this episode, we sit down with GiDeanLeigh Ogilvie, Organizational Partnerships Officer at Phoenix Rescue Mission, to explore how relationships with churches, companies, and foundations turn compassion into real, measurable impact. GiDeanLeigh shares her journey from HR into organizational partnerships, why staying close to frontline teams strengthens honest fundraising, and how initiatives like Code Red—mobilizing the community to deliver more than a million water bottles during Arizona’s most dangerous season—show the power of clear goals and consistent communication. From outreach teams driving through parks, canals, and key freeway routes to case managers walking alongside people on their journey to stability, we look at how these daily realities shape the strategies that support outreach, recovery, and long-term transformation.

We also look at how culture becomes strategy at Phoenix Rescue Mission, including rhythms like Refresh Week, leadership development, and intentional time for prayer that help prevent burnout and keep teams aligned. GiDeanLeigh highlights a standout partnership with QT that places dedicated outreach case managers at specific locations, creating a highly effective model for ongoing engagement and long-term housing outcomes. She also shares why her team approaches every partnership with a posture of curiosity—listening first, seeking alignment, and discovering how each organization’s passions can uniquely strengthen mission work. Whether you care about homelessness solutions, nonprofit development, faith-led leadership, or cross-sector collaboration, this conversation offers practical insight and encouragement for building stronger communities right where you are.
