Harnessing Your Wealth with Billy Peterson
Episode 89 | Partners, Not Funders: Rethinking How Charitable Dollars Should Work with JeuneElle Jeffries
Partners, Not Funders: Rethinking How Charitable Dollars Should Work - JeuneElle Jeffries In this episode of Harnessing Your Wealth, Billy sits down with JeuneElle Jeffries, CEO of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Northern Utah, for a candid look at what actually makes a nonprofit effective — and what doesn't. JeuneElle has run youth-serving organizations since 1993 and was recently named one of Utah's most influential women. She shares why she stopped chasing large one-time donations and instead built partnerships with local employers, why she believes nonprofits should be evaluated the same way you'd evaluate a business, and why being honest with funders about a program that failed actually strengthened trust rather than losing it. You'll hear real talk on: Why partnerships beat one-time fundraising for long-term stability What to ask before donating to a charity or nonprofit Why some major university endowments give away only a small fraction of their holdings each year How the Boys & Girls Clubs of Northern Utah built a new community campus The programs teaching kids workforce skills, tech skills, and basic life skills after 2020 Whether you're weighing a one-time donation or building charitable giving into a broader financial or estate plan, this conversation offers a rare, honest look from the nonprofit side of the table.
