Are Nonprofits Saying "Sew What?" to Social Capital?
Show Notes

Does your organization recognize the value of its social capital? In this podcast, Katie talks to philanthropy expert and documentary filmmaker, Salvatore Alaimo, about his latest production, Sew What. This short documentary film portrays the work of a volunteer sewing making clothing for a hospital system’s foster child program. The film, while subtle and understated, reveals the significance of volunteerism and social capital and how they are (pun intended) are sewn into the fabric of philanthropy. 

If your organization relies on volunteer support in any capacity, this episode will challenge and inspire you to think beyond the work of the volunteers to the spirit and impact they make on each other and your organization’s mission.
