Nonprofit Hub Radio
A Practical Approach to More Meaningful Nonprofit Giving
In this episode of the Nonprofit Hub Radio Podcast, Nina Guise-Gerrity, founder and CEO of Get Gifted and longtime Loyola University professor, shares the story behind building an innovative platform designed to make giving more personal, efficient, and meaningful. What began as a simple challenge—wanting to send her niece blueberries from across the country—became a powerful solution for individuals and nonprofits alike. Nina walks through her transition from academia to entrepreneurship, the persistence required to build technology in an unfamiliar space, and how Get Gifted enables nonprofits to clearly communicate their real, day-to-day needs through customizable wish lists. The conversation highlights donor motivation, the importance of matching intention with execution, and how tangible, personalized giving creates deeper connection and impact for communities, donors, and nonprofit leaders alike.

Welcome back to the Nonprofit Hub Radio Podcast. I'm your host, Megan Speer. Joined today for Nina Geis Garrity is joining me. She is the founder and CEO of Get Gifted, as well as a bunch of other titles and a professor and all sorts of things. So we'll dig into that. But Nina, welcome in.
SPEAKER_01:So glad to have you here. Megan, thank you so much. This was rather serendipitous. Our our meeting, and look how quickly this happened. So I'm delighted to be here. Thank you so much for asking. That really is an honor.
SPEAKER_00:So we're gonna get deeper into the get gifted piece here in a minute because I'm really excited to talk about that story of yours. But by way of introduction, because outside of being founder and CEO and see all of the things for get gifted, have quite a background in education and in in teaching and as a professor. So tell us a little bit just about yourself as a person too.
SPEAKER_01:Oh, sure. Thank you so much. So uh I'm a silly girl through and through. So you and I might have to like disagree later. Hardcore, right? We'll have a we'll have a football debate later. It's fine. Yes, it's okay. There's no debating. We know who's the better team. Yeah. And then, and so I came into education after getting my second master's degree and thought this is I want to move out of the corporate world and into something that to me just felt more substantial, more meaningful, something I could do while raising and child. I have five children. So I spent many uh like open 24 hours a day from 3 a.m. to 5 a.m. hiding in a cafe somewhere in Baltimore studying and doing all my other parts and pieces that I had to do. But along the way the whole time, I was giving service and and I uh I constantly look for efficiencies and I've learned that through education. And so for the past 22 years, I've been full-time faculty at Loyola University in Maryland, which is a humanities, liberal arts-based Jesuit school. I sent my children to a Quaker schools, and so the idea of giving service and and and being present for others was always important to me. And I figure I could do that in teaching's best. Let's go with that, right? And so I teach a lot of ancient Greek philosophy, and then I teach political and economic philosophy as well to undergrads and work a lot with pushing students forward post-scribe. I love my career, I think it's it's the noble profession, as Plato says.
SPEAKER_00:Yes.
SPEAKER_01:So we should be lifelong learners.
SPEAKER_00:Absolutely. So I think to set the stage for today's conversation, right? It's always interesting to me, somebody who has like a a super successful academic career probably doesn't necessarily and five kids, by the way. That seems like a pretty full plate in and of itself, probably doesn't need to go found their own company as well. And yet you did, which I think the heart behind get gifted is really what I'm excited to share with folks today. Thank you. Um so tell us a little bit if you could sum up get gifted in kind of a sentence or two. Let's level the playing field so everybody knows what we're talking about. And then I would love to hear the why. Like, how did you come up with this idea? Why did you feel so passionate about it? Tell me a little bit about the beginnings there of Get Gifted.
SPEAKER_01:Sure, we have to. And the funny part is, you know how when you are you do something and it's and you're pretty good at it, people will say, Well, how did you do that? And you think, Well, I I how would I not have done it? I I'm not very good at it. I've been a bit driven since the time I was a scrappy little kid. And so constantly inventing myself and reinventing myself is part of what I've done. And I've had a number of other businesses aside from aside from this one on in more of the academic space. And so Get Gifted is both an app and a web-based platform for personalized and for gifting, quite honestly. Which is funny to say because when you say gifting, people think, okay, it's like a box to your door or it's a gift, but it's much more than that. It's a relationship app, but we're not we're not one of those companies, we're not bumble or something. So it's it's it becomes an interesting dynamic when someone says, What do you do? And it's well, we connect people with those who they love and think about and give you ways to show appreciation, give you ways to say, I'm thinking about you while I'm driving to work, while I'm brushing my teeth, while I'm doing the different things in my day. And we're connecting you with them in ways that are deeply meaningful. And the joy that we've brought to people have been quite stunning in a short amount of time. So, but like anything, I had to start the app because I had a problem, right? That's pretty much where where where we were. And so the founder story is pretty fun, and I do appreciate this. And so several years ago, I was out in Southern California visiting my little niece Stella, and each morning we would go to the farm stand, and each morning I would ask Stella, what would you like? And she always said, Blueberries. Right. So from the local farmer, we'd buy blueberries, we'd go back, that's all over her face. That was a success. Took a red eye back to Baltimore, sat in my office the next morning, and thought, well, how will I get Stella for blueberries? In fact, how will I get Stella everything or anything she wants from a pack of gum to shoot, whatever? I and I didn't have an answer to my problem. And there wasn't an answer to my problem because you can't Venmo a blueberry, you can't cash up a blueberry, you can't Amazon a blueberry. So my only recourse was to go to one of the two companion stores between Baltimore and San Diego, which is Whole Foods. And I'll never forget this. And so I went to Whole Foods, and not even that itself, inconvenient and a time killer. So, okay, here I go because I'm doing this for Stella. It's all about Stella and her blueberries. I stood in front of blueberries and they were$4.75. And I thought, well, San Diego, there's enough charge. Still cost$5.75. So I asked the cashier for a gift card for$5.75, and she said, We can't do that. You can get a$5 gift card, get a$10 gift card. And I thought, well, there's my second problem. I've not only wasted my time, but now I'm wasting money because five is not enough. Ten is too much. And so what to do? So I buy the$10 gift card, and I have to go back, and then I go to the post office, and then I have to get the address. Now I'm just tired. Now I'm really kind of grouchy. Quite honestly, this is a lot of work for Stella's blueberries. And I send in five days later, Stella gets a card in the mail from her aunt with a$10 gift card, and she goes to Whole Foods and she buys chicken, nuggets, and Cheerios. And I thought, wow, that was a failure, right? I'm an academic. I know what a failure looks like. And this was one of them. So how are we going to overcome my own problems? I know I'm going to walk into a world that I actually know truly nothing about, which is technology. But before I do so, I'm going to talk to people and see what they think of it. And the tech executives I talked to said, it's a great idea, but we can't do that. And I thought, oh, thank you for saying that. Sometimes it's just the motivation that somebody needs because now I knew I had a problem with figuring out. And anybody who sits down and doesn't. So I got an MBA, I ran 20 marathons, I just put miles on the ground and time in my head. And I thought, okay, let's start to map this out. Let's start to learn the language people are going to talk to me when they're talking about run rates or MVPs or APIs. I need to know what you're saying. I don't know how to do it. It's okay. But I have to know what you're saying to me and what you're asking and what I'm getting. And so that's what I did. And I've partnered with people and I've teamed, and I'm really proud of through the time that I first put this on paper to when we launched, and now we're going to relaunch next week. I included interns from my university. So people who are in econ and marketing, management, finance, communications, PR, so they can build their resume, so they can see what starting a company looks like, so they can see part of the grind, part of the worry, the wins, the losses, the tidal waves that I each day there's a tidal wave. I just don't know how I don't know if it's a tsunami or if it's the one that I can like leap over, right? And so the upside is as the weeks, days, months go on, what was insurmountable-ish became surmountable-ish, became doable, became, yeah, I've heard that before. I okay, I know what to do. So you have to be very, you can't be risk averse. You have to keep running at something, thinking, if I can send Stella her blueberries in 10 seconds, because she's created a wish list, she's told me the cost, tax and tip included, and I can click that icon, I can send her a little note, love your aunt, get your blueberries, push send, and that money appears in her digital wallet inside her app for her to then just pink, transfer, and run to that local business. That's huge. So we're very much about customization, right? Convenience, shopping locally. 70% of our shopping is done locally, so let's do it. And sustainability. I just didn't want to mail another package to her door. I think we've all reached a bit of our limit on that one. So I'm delighted at this. And with our relaunch, Megan, we are not only tighter and more streamlined, but we're international. So you can send something to a friend who's in Uganda, who's in the Caribbean, right? Amazing. And and they're telling you what they want, which I love.
SPEAKER_00:And I think what's interesting. Happy day. Yeah. And I think what's so interesting to me about what you just said, right, is that is like you built it on a on a business scale, but that is the heart of all of our nonprofit leaders that are listening to this thing now, right? And I I hope that what they take away from your story is that you just gotta keep fighting, right? Educate yourself because you know, I have talked to nonprofit leaders across the country who are taking on legitimately ridiculously overwhelming problems in the world, trying to make the world a better place, right? It would be very easy for them to find themselves in the same place that you were and just say, oh, it can't be done. Okay, well, that's that's too bad. I guess I'll move on, right? But I love the tenacity of your story. Like, no, this is a problem that needs to be solved. What education do I need to make that happen? What partners do I need to make that happen? What resources are available to me that I can tap into as, you know, with my interns, with my school, whatever the case may be. But I am passionate about solving this problem. And so it's gonna get done. And I love the lesson of tenacity in that for our leaders. Thank you.
SPEAKER_01:And wearing my running shoes, right, every day necessary because I'm always right. And so it takes a lot of networking. And one thing I found Megan is it takes a lot of asking people and outreach. I mean, it really does. People, and I've particularly found that in in the nonprofit space, is people all around are willing to help. They just don't know how to. And so they're either inefficient, there are barriers to figuring it out, they're they're wasting, and this so they end up feeling like they're wasting their time and their money and they don't know what to do, and they're a bit dear in the headlights. And so this is what prompted us to add to our platform and have a web-based charitable gifting part of this, which just recently launched. And we already have people, nonprofits, reaching out to us to say, please let me join, let me create those wish lists of all of the, you know, the quirky things we need, the program we need, the initiatives that we want to do, whether it's playgrounds or capital campaigns or just those in that small five to ten dollar donation range that people can do, because in spending years talking to people in the community and around the community, what they want to do is help, but they don't know how, and writing a check or just making that$50,$100 donation feels vacant to them. It doesn't feel like they're making any inroads. If you tell me I'm feeding the hungry and I'm only giving you$50, I'm pretty sure I've not done anything meaningful. Sure. But also what I'm doing.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, and I think there's a lot of assumption on community members' parts, right? So I there's an organization that I volunteer with here in Pittsburgh. One of the things that they do is run an after-school program, right? Oh, yes. Cool, that's great. And for urban inner city students who might not have a lot of them don't have folks at home waiting for them because mom's working two jobs, whatever the case may be. Absolutely. A friend of mine runs the early elementary part of that program. So think kindergarten to third grade. Admirable, right? So admirable, yes. Amazing. She is an absolutely amazing woman running it. And she was sharing the other day that a very well-intentioned community member thought of the program and was like, you know what? I'm gonna do something nice and I'm gonna bring them some snacks. Oh right, because that's she wanted to make a difference. She wanted to make sure that these little babies had some snacks for after school. Right. How sweet. Very sweet of her. So she went out and bought four cases, which I have to presume was like a pretty, you know, financially like that's four cases of peanut butter granola bars. Sarah was like, okay, that's great. I can't serve anything with peanuts in it because we have a bunch of kids who have allergies. So we are not free. But then how do you say to this woman, like, I'm so sorry, I can't take these. Yes. Because her kids needed snacks. But for us to presume as a community member, what the best way to go about feeding these children snacks would be is not as well intentioned as it is. Thank you. Is not always the answer. Yes, yes, yes. But the people who know what they need are the people on the front lines doing the things, right? And so I think that's the heart of what I love about Get Gifted is that you those people now have a voice to be able to say what they need. They're not just at the mercy and the whim of like, I'm at Costco and these look good. Uh let me throw them in my heart. And it's totally just fiction. Yeah. And assume that because I like peanut butter granola bars, that is going to be a good fit for all of the the hundred kids that are in this program, right? Right, right. Talk to us a little bit then about how nonprofits get involved. What does that look like? What would that process look like for them?
SPEAKER_01:Yes, that's great. And I'll do that in one second, if I may just back up, right? Because this after-school program, I mean, they can use fresh fruits or little cuties, and then programming. And that's one of the things that we're encouraging, especially after-school programs. And we have quite a few now who are onboarding with us, right? Bring in a Lego mobile, bring in a local author, right? Bring in supplies so little kids are making workbooks for themselves. So the third graders are making a little math workbook and giving it to the kindergartners. So, you know, a seek and find or Madlibs, whatever it may be, because she knows exactly what her programming needs, and she really appreciates people's efforts. So our big push on this one is intention matches execution. And it takes on our on the donor side 10 seconds. And it takes on the nonprofit side about 10 minutes, start to finish. So our onboarding, we have simplified it to the bones. And I did this by working with people in nonprofits who have, oh, I don't know, four seconds of your time, right? So when they're telling me that they're constantly being thrown out with programming or sit in and watch this hour-long video about leadership, they're thinking, I can't do that. I need to be, I need to be a doer or something. So it is free for nonprofits, community partners, schools, after school programs, free down the line. It really costs you zero to join. And then all monies donated come to you. So we are not a GoFundMe or a donor, whatever, taking 40%, taking chunks of money from you to zero. And we don't have, we don't partner with specific companies. So all of your products have to come from Procter Gamble or once again. Why would you limit me and give me an expensive catalog to buy expensive products from? And I don't want them or need them or don't. So um, I'm not keen to that at all. And you just the customization of it. And so a nonprofit comes on and they just start to put in their basic information, right? Just about their organization, and then they set up wish lists. And you give your wish lists a little description, you might give it a title. So for your friend, it might be kindergarten fun. And she'll pull emojis that are on our. We have over 900 hand-drawn emojis that female artists in the area did. And if it's not there, you just scoop it offline and Google image. You put it in, you tell us how much you need, the cost of it, text and tip included, and then that sits on your wish list. And then the next item, and the next item, and the next item. And you can even put generic things such as a book for$2, a book for$5, a book for$10, and just put a nice, beautiful image of a book there. So we're increasing what you need for your library, your little beanbag chairs. People know what they need. Nonprofit people are brilliant in knowing I need this thing and I need 10 of them, I need four of these, I need a hundred of these. Don't send me more, don't send me XYZ when I need ABC. And so you save other people's time and money this way. And then when the nonprofit director or community is setting up this, we an email is triggered to the business office. And then the business office is coming through Stripe, who is our payment processing company. And every piece of information we can't access anything sensitive because it's run through AWS. So I spend a tremendous amount of money on encryption, transparency, and keeping people safe.
unknown:Yeah.
SPEAKER_01:Except a one pager of putting in just your banking information. So that when I, as the donor, to come on to get gftd.io charitable gifting, I click the link, I find your website, I click it, I find your wish list, I pull up five different items, put them in my basket, and I take on the credit card fee because Stripe is gonna bill for that. But I, the donor, I'm gonna have to take that on because every single penny needs to come to you to buy the things you need. I push send and I'm done. So it takes me 10 seconds. And I get a tax receipt instantly sent to me. Right? And then you, as the nonprofit, you have a running list of who the donor is, the donor's email, and what has been given to you. So when you have to do your accounting balances at the end, that's all done. If it's tagged to certain categories, that's included for you. So we really streamline what this looks like. And then you just pull the money out. Your director does, your director of finance. And then you have the funds you need. And you can take little PR pictures, post them on your LinkedIn, look at our great donation we got. One of the things I really like about it is we've we had a new member join and from New Jersey. Over this past week, and they're doing a big holiday event. So now I get to learn about Embrite Education or the Baltimore Zoo and their their big initiatives that they're gonna do. And it lets me know who who community partners are and what they need from us. That's the other piece I really like. If not, Embrite Education would have gotten a check for me from$25,$50 or$100, and I would have no idea. Sure. Their audience, what they're doing. I don't feel attached to it. But I just sent them boxes of cookies that they need for this big event. And I'm so excited, and they're so excited, and I got the nicest message. And I feel a little guilty because it actually took me 10 seconds to do.
SPEAKER_00:Right. But it's not like I should do yes. But think about it from so okay, so if I am, you know, man, I just had a a really good conversation with a friend of mine. I want to, you know, just send them a little something to let them know I'm thinking about them. Right. I could, you know, I could send them a five dollar Starbucks gift card through the mobile app and it get they get a notification, and then maybe they could get most of their cup of coffee that's paid for, right? Right. Or two hours or something like that. Or I can take that same$5 and know that it's going to, you know, a a soccer ball for a kid in a sports program in their neighborhood that they're really passionate about, right? There's so many ways to to match it to the people in your life, right? Wow. That it's kind of thinking about even for as Christmas is coming, right? Very few of us need more stuff. Yes. But it's so it's easier for me, at least the way that my brain works, right? I could say to somebody, to my parents or to my brother and sister-in-law, I gave to this nonprofit on your behalf.
SPEAKER_01:Yes.
SPEAKER_00:And then they have no connection to it either, right? Like it's just this ambiguous thing that's out there while depending on whatever. But if I say to them, hey, I gave on your behalf, so this nonprofit that you're passionate about now has 20 more soccer balls for their program, or they have four for the kindergartners for another month. And so it gives a real visualization of the impact that that gift has. And I think that's so important for us, both as the giver and the even as like the recipient, if you will. Yes. Able to visualize what our gift is actually doing is really important and really impactful.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, you're spot on. Because even those examples, I was picturing a seven-year-old running around the schoolyard kicking a soccer ball. And then I was thinking of a little one sitting at a desk eating castles or little cuties or something. And that is something you can attach to. Yes. We are so we are so driven to connect with others. Now you're walking into the world of Aristotle, by the way. Uh-oh. I might start lecturing you and quiz you at the end. So be careful. But this is just very true about us, right? We are political animals. We need to be with others. We thrive and we are fulfilled when we are with others. And so meeting people where they are is just really important. I don't want to give something to you because it means it's about me. I want to do something for you that you need. And that is about both of us. And it's impactful. And now, and the thing I also love about that is if you need, if it's the soccer balls for your little school, and now you're doing it, and in a conversation, networking with somebody in three months from now, the person owns a sporting goods store or wants to become a soccer coach. Like, oh wait, I have a really good connection for you. I'm not I'm constantly connecting people together who have said, I'm a local author. Wait, don't go away. We have a local school here. We have many city schools that are just underwater academically. So I'm connecting those local authors with schools. And then, oh, somebody locally owns a bookmobile that she just did, and we just sourced books, people just donated books for a big third grade party at a local city school, a public charter elementary school, and we just did a big programming event there. Like that's the web, and it starts with my knowing who you are and what you want. Just like with each other.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, so good. So if a nonprofit leader is listening to this, going, Yep, I definitely want to be a part of it. I want to get involved. What's their first step? How do they go about getting signed up? What would they need to do?
unknown:Right.
SPEAKER_01:Well, the first thing you're probably going to do is just take, you know, peek under the covers and see who we are, right? And that's just come to our website, which is get gftd.io. It's that simple. And when you come there, you'll see a splash screen which has three different business offerings, right? One is the individual, which once again connect with all your friends and family. That's fun, fun, fun, right? Come into the charitable gifting and it will prompt you to start an account. And it's that easy. And then you just start onboarding. And one of the things we love is that for every wish list you create, that URL is personal to that wish list. So every URL should be included in actually every single piece of communication now that goes out the door for your nonprofit. Whether it's that wish list, a second one you created, a third one, everyone should go out the door, right? And a little QR code from that wish list could be put on a little mailer and sent to every local business. That's the other piece that we hear about is local businesses want to connect with community partners in a way that is meaningful, which is a little funny because the state of Maryland gave me grant money to build out an employee recognition reward platform based on the same personalized gifting model. Yeah. And so that is sent to launch in the spring. But one of our value propositions, of course, is that right from this platform, while you are recognizing your employees, you can also once a quarter pick a community partner, a nonprofit, and make a donation to it right there. So good. So we're so bringing businesses into the community, right? If you're if you're a lumber business, why wouldn't you want to look on our website and see who needs a garage build, who needs windows? It's a phenomenal connection you're making. So good. All tax-free. So that's the part about it that we love. It's such easy. It's intention matches execution, just like that.
SPEAKER_00:Yes. And I think so often we tend to not think about like maybe some of the service-based businesses and the way that they interact with the community as well, right? So it's very easy to say, oh, this lumber business could donate over here and fulfill that, and then they could come by the lumber. Um, but so often the ones that have a harder time getting involved are the service-based, right? We're running some sort of program or we're running a service or we're a professional lawyer or a you know, an HR company or an accounting company, right? But there are still people within those organizations who are really passionate about things. Yes. Right. And so being able to connect with local businesses across the board and get people involved in new ways, I think is just a really exciting opportunity for nonprofits to get involved with.
SPEAKER_01:It's a wonderful one, especially if a nonprofit, you know, back to the afternoon school program from kindergarten to third grade, if on four different wish lists, or one of those wish lists was just services to run this after-school program, and it has on their accountant for one hour, you know, a bookkeeper for an hour, and then people who can bring different programming and services, people will pay for that. Sure. To help you out.
SPEAKER_00:The wish list doesn't have to be like an actual physical thing.
SPEAKER_01:No, most of them are not, actually, which is interesting. People need programming most of all, and services most of all. That's what they really, really need and want because they're hard to find. And so you could bring in a lawyer for an hour, and then once that lawyer is paid for an hour, that lawyer will donate time to your cause because now that lawyer cares deeply about you, right? And once to then connect you with other people in the community who become people who donate for you and donate to you, right? And then suddenly your organization or your nonprofit is on his wish list, and he's bringing your initiatives back into his company, and then they're donating once a quarter to you. And so we're just creating opportunities for people to just walk right through the door. One thing I was really cognizant about is people who run nonprofits and work in nonprofits, they're just their time is so constrained. I mean, it's just it's miraculous what they do, they have to be exhausted throughout the day, and they just they can't be discouraged. They have to realize that those of us who aren't in nonprofits really are filled with gratitude for what they're doing. And we don't say it, we don't express it sometimes because we don't know how to or where to go or what to do. But I mean they just they provide for our community members who really need those services, and then the rest of us can flourish collectively because people who need them are taken care of in ways that are meaningful. So nonprofits take the burden off the rest of us, and and saying thank you for that is the least we could do. Donating to those wish lists is something we'd happily do.
SPEAKER_00:Happily do. Okay, so that's a great transition then as we wrap up today. First of all, yes, go sign up at get gft.io. Exactly. Right. All nonprofits should be on there. But all nonprofits, um the question that I have been asking everyone in this season, obviously, it's been an interesting year for a lot of nonprofits. Oh and this is a season I think, especially as we're in kind of the the push to year-end giving and we're wrapping up and getting ready for a new year. There's this is a very busy season for those nonprofit leaders. Yes. Uh so if you could give them one piece of encouragement or wisdom as they're in this season and looking forward to what's coming down the pike in 2026, what would that be?
SPEAKER_01:Well, I mean, quite quite simply, it's the same that everybody else is probably offering, which is please understand that what you provide every day, day in and day out, is truly one of the three most valuable assets we have in our communities, in our cities, in our state, in our country, right? This is the unsung heroes that they talk about. And I I would also tell nonprofits that there are other resources out there that are really simple, they're like low-hanging fruit. Call your local university and ask about the internship programs and tell them you want to bring in five interns to do your social media, to do your PR, to do some accounting. Universities are chalk full of fun talent, and these students want to fill a resume, and they'll always be keen to do community service work. And I we think that that's gonna be a good resource for them. But for those of us like my company, I just wanted to keep it simple: 10 minutes, and you're in and out, and you're done, and you've given us something to work with, and then you know, reach out to us and tell us here we are, and then we're gonna help you in as many ways as we can. We really truly are. And if people just want to email me directly, it's just Nina at get gftd.io and just Nina, grab a meeting with me for 10 minutes. Nina, walk me through this. Nina, help. That's what we need to say. Help, so then we can get help, right? And people will. So their work is just so important, Megan. It really is. It gives the rest of us an opportunity to become virtuous. And Aristotle will tell you that's the whole point of living is to become virtuous, right? That is the goal, that is the purpose. That's what separates us from other animals. And so they're giving us that opportunity. So thank you for people who start nonprofits and community organizations. Really, truly, I love it. It matters. They are paying it forward a thousand times. They just might not know it in the minute, but they are.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah. So good. Nina, thank you so much for being here. I hope that your story. I I really hope, especially again, as this is a busy season for folks, that everybody is really encouraged, not only by kind of the the example of resilience that you have been to make sure that this happens, but also by the fact that there are people out there who are, you know, in nonprofit, we we tend to not always see how much people want to help. And so I love the vision that you have given to everybody in this. And I hope that our nonprofit leaders are super encouraged in this season by the fact that like you and people like you exist to create things that are helpful. So thank you so much for being here. I really appreciate it. Oh, Megan, thank you so much.
SPEAKER_01:And really just tell nonprofit, like, give us a chance to do good, please. Yes, right. Right, we love that, right? No peanut butter granola bars included. No peanut butter granola bars, right? Excellent. Megan, thank you. Happy holidays to you and everybody listening. Happy 2026. That's exciting.
