About this Podcast:
The Foundation Voice is a podcast hosted by Jennifer Stapleton, founder of Fire & Bliss and a 30-year veteran of philanthropic and nonprofit communications, exploring what it actually takes for foundations to communicate with clarity, courage, and impact in today’s political environment. Through candid interviews, sharp strategy conversations, and real-world case studies, Jennifer pulls back the curtain on how foundations navigate risk, shape narratives, respond to crises, and build public trust without losing sight of their values. The show explores what worked, what failed, and what foundations getting it right are doing differently. Every episode includes honest conversations about the real communications challenges foundations face behind closed doors, and the strategies bold leaders are using to move their missions forward anyway. Because if you don’t shape the narrative around your mission, someone else will do it for you. Le
