Philanthropy Matchmaker: Erinn Andrews, Founder & CEO of Give Team

05/28/24 • 33 min

Entrepreneur Erinn Andrews, Founder & CEO of Give Team, shares her insights, research, and observations about the philanthropists we don’t usually hear about: donors giving between $10,000 - $50,000 annually (versus millions and billions every year). Her enthusiasm and passion for the social sector is abundant and is showcased in this conversation where she explains Give Team’s approach and offers guidance to those seeking to be more intentional and thoughtful about how we distribute our charitable dollars.

Bonus: Erinn referenced several resources that philanthropists – of any amount and interest – may find helpful in researching and exploring nonprofits, including Guidestar, Impala, and Charity Navigator.
