221: Turning your Passion into a Movement (Lynn Margherio)SUMMARYStarting a successful nonprofit often begins by transforming a passion project into a well-defined organization.

In episode #221 of Your Path to Nonprofit Leadership, Founder and CEO of the national nonprofit Cradles to Crayons, Lynn Margherio shares just how she’s created a movement from her personal mission to end clothing insecurity.  She shares her 5 keys to building a movement and how she’s activated the corporate community to engage them in her cause. Lynn discusses the staff and volunteer networks she’s built, her approach to strategic planning, and most importantly, knowing how and when to scale into new markets.   ABOUT LYNNA leader in the fields of social justice and children’s issues, Lynn Margherio is the Founder and CEO of Cradles to Crayons.
