You Are What You Give

You Are What You Give is a weekly podcast about nonprofits, fundraising, philanthropy, and the real work behind helping others.

Hosted by Avi Zimmerman, each episode features honest conversations with nonprofit leaders, fundraisers, philanthropists, public servants, and community builders. We explore how organizations raise funds, how donors decide where to give, and what actually creates meaningful impact beyond good intentions.

From charitable giving and donor relationships to nonprofit strategy, community leadership, and values-driven action, these discussions reveal what works, what doesn’t, and why people dedicate their lives to service.

If you care about nonprofit work, charity, social impact, fundraising strategy, or making a difference in your community — welcome to the conversation.
