Today I’m chilling with the Big Poppa of the New York nonprofit world, Rich Berlin. Rich walks us through the quick history of Harlem RBI that has since become multi-service wraparound school called Dream. Rich tells us how his organization went from almost closing to its current $40M a year budget. He shares his thoughts about board recruitment, board management and how to prepare a board to punch above its weight. One day, I would like to be able to say “We’re not talking to you for less than a seven figure gift.” Listen, learn and LOVE it. This has got to be one of my very favorite podcast episodes (I love them all like my children.)
