What does innovation really look like in the nonprofit world? In this enlightening conversation, nonprofit consultant and author Leah Kral challenges the notion that innovation requires massive resources or technical expertise.

Drawing from her extensive research and twenty years of experience in the sector, Leah explains that innovation can be as simple as switching from paper forms to iPads at a legal aid clinic or as complex as revolutionizing healthcare delivery for the poor. The key is being willing to question the status quo and experiment with new approaches.

For nonprofit leaders feeling overwhelmed by day-to-day operations or limited by resources, this episode offers practical wisdom on fostering innovation within any organization. As Leah beautifully puts it, "The nonprofit sector isn't the withered branch – we are the root system of democracy," solving crucial social problems that deserve our most creative and courageous thinking.
