The Business of Helping

Sumac

Business & Entrepreneuriat

Fréquence : 1 épisode/0j. Total Éps: 4

Fundraising gets most of the airtime in the nonprofit sector. The people who actually deliver the programs rarely do. Each episode, one nonprofit leader walks through how their program really runs — intake to outcome — in enough detail that a peer could borrow it. Shelter directors, crisis-line teams, forensic nurses and prevention educators, talking about the mechanics of the work rather than the mission statement. Hosted by Scott Brereton, from Societ makers of Sumac Case Management. See more at sumac.com

From Outcry to Adjudication: Shelter, Forensics and Prevention at Abigail's Arms

Saison 1 · Épisode 4

dimanche 30 août 2026 • Durée 29:25

In most American communities the crisis hotline, the emergency shelter, the sexual assault response, the children's forensic interviews and the prevention curriculum in the schools belong to five different organizations. In Cooke County, Texas, they are one organization, and Ginger Johnson runs it.

Ginger is the executive director of Abigail's Arms Cooke County Family Crisis Center in Gainesville. She spent twenty-three years in law enforcement, ending her policing career as a family violence and sexual assault investigator, and joined Abigail's Arms in 2013 as a sexual assault advocate. She has led the agency since 2020.

She explains what holding the whole chain under one roof actually changes: a family completes one intake instead of four, and a survivor is not asked to retell the story to a new person at every handoff. She walks through what happens when someone comes through the door, how a family case advocate builds an individual service plan, and what she means when she says the agency works with a client "from outcry to adjudication." She is direct about the money, too — why restricted state and federal grants cover salaries but not the gas card, the clothing or the counseling a family needs this week, and why prevention work in the county's eleven school districts is the hardest thing she has to fund.

Punching Above Our Weight: The Elder Shelter and the Meal Route at Syracuse Jewish Family Service

Saison 1 · Épisode 3

dimanche 30 août 2026 • Durée 28:16

Syracuse Jewish Family Service has been working in Central New York since 1891. It is now the human services arm of the Menorah Park campus, and it runs the area's only shelter for older adults escaping abuse — work that larger, better-funded organizations in the region are not doing.

Jay Sinclair, who took over as director in February 2025, calls his team the skunk works of the organization: the people building the services everyone is going to need in five, ten or fifteen years. The demographic argument behind that is straightforward. The oldest baby boomers are reaching 85, more people are now caring for elderly relatives than for young children, and the resources to serve them the way agencies have always served them do not exist.

Jay walks through what an elder shelter actually is: where referrals come from, why intake takes around three days, why the hardest decision is made before anyone is admitted, and why a person in their seventies escaping abuse cannot be housed in a facility built for a twenty-year-old. He also explains what his Kosher Meals on Wheels volunteers are really delivering, which in his telling is not the meal. The conversation closes with what he would say to a director who sees a gap this size in their own community and assumes their organization is too small to take it on.

Out of the ER: Survivor-Centered Forensic Care at Mary's Place

Saison 1 · Épisode 2

dimanche 30 août 2026 • Durée 27:33

For most survivors of sexual assault, the forensic exam happens in a hospital emergency department. At Mary's Place in Savannah, Georgia, it happens in the agency's own building, in a suite with an exam room, an interview room and a private restroom.

Doris L. Williams, the executive director, explains how that came about, and the answer is not the one the sector usually tells. It was not a capital campaign. Early in COVID the hospital called and needed the space Mary's Place occupied near the emergency room. Doris was given 48 hours to clear it out. She emailed the county's sexual assault response team on a Sunday, and by Monday morning the state, law enforcement, the district attorney's office, the hospital, the child advocacy centre and the domestic violence centre had agreed to move exams into her building. The first exams were done on a stretcher, because the exam table had not arrived yet.

The conversation covers what the ER path cost survivors in privacy and waiting time, what the agency kept from its hospital relationships rather than replacing, and everything that happens after the exam — protective orders, counseling, court accompaniment, and a fund that puts a client in a hotel when every shelter in reach is full. Doris also talks about how a team that works a 24-hour crisis line looks after itself.

The Second Step: Ninety Days from a Shelter Bed to Housing at Prescott Area Shelter Services

Saison 1 · Épisode 1

dimanche 30 août 2026 • Durée 29:22

Prescott Area Shelter Services runs a 26-bed dormitory-style emergency shelter for women and women with children in Prescott, Arizona. Carmen Frederic was its first executive director in 2009, left, and came back in 2017.

The interesting part of her operation is not the emergency bed. It is what the organization built underneath it. Guests get 90 days, a bed that is theirs for the duration, and a plan they write themselves. When their income is steady, they can move into a house PASS owns, pay some rent, stay for up to two years and leave with a landlord reference — which matters, Carmen explains, because the private market in Prescott asks for three times the rent in income, screens out a felony record, and turns down anyone under a 600 credit score. For guests who find their own place, a savings-match program helps cover the cost of moving in.

Carmen is equally clear about what stops people: transportation in a county with poor bus service, the two or three months of summer when there is no daycare, and mental health that can decline under the strain of shelter living. She also describes what has changed since 2017 — subsidised units converting to market rate and a rising number of guests over 60 — and what she would tell another director trying to build the same second step.
