In this episode of the Palante Nonprofits Podcast, Dr. Andrea Ortega speaks with Eric Camarillo, founder and executive director of SALT Outreach, about his journey in building a nonprofit focused on serving individuals experiencing homelessness. The conversation explores Eric’s early challenges—from hesitating to file for 501(c)(3) status to navigating the complexities of nonprofit leadership and scaling services. Eric shares how staying focused on a core mission, turning down misaligned funding, and preparing organizational infrastructure before funding arrived were key to SALT's growth, especially during COVID-19 when new opportunities emerged rapidly.
