Nonprofit organizations do so much to enhance the quality of life in our communities, but they often lack the time, talent and budget to properly promote their missions and attract more donors, volunteers and clients to their cause.

Here on Buzz4Good! we feature the great work that nonprofits do. And we provide them with marketing tips and tools so they can achieve more buzz!

Buzzing about the power of POWHR: Environmental Justice nonprofit's win over Mountain Valley Pipeline

Season 5 · Episode 1

Friday, July 10, 2026 • Duration 59:50

On today’s show, BUZZ creator Michael Hemphill is buzzing about the power of POWHR (Protect Our Water Heritage and Rights).

Whenever nonprofits have to go up against big for-profit companies it’s often like David vs. Goliath … but with David lacking any stones for his sling. But recently a Southwest Virginia environmental nonprofit used its power to successfully stymy – for now at least – construction of a massive 25-acre, 136,900 hp compressor station that Mountain Valley Pipeline wanted to build in a rural section of Montgomery County.

Michael chats with POWHR community organizer Crystal Mello – who prefers to describe herself as the local cleaning lady and a nanna — and double Hokie Seferina Olivo, who is POWHR’s community science manager, about POWHR’s fight against Mountain Valley Pipeline … and its work to establish environmental justice for Southwest Virginia.

Help for Hosting Hybrid and Virtual Nonprofit Fundraising Events

Season 1 · Episode 5

Thursday, January 13, 2022 • Duration 22:14

At the start of the pandemic in spring 2020, fundraising events for nonprofits, like everything else, went all virtual. Since then, many if not most events have either stayed virtual or adopted a hybrid model that allows a nonprofit’s friends and fans to attend in person or online.

Buzz4Good host Michael Hemphill recently reconnected with Brooke Battle, a classmate at Birmingham-Southern College, who way back in 2012 started Swell Fundraising in Birmingham, Alabama. At the time … well, Swell Fundraising was ahead of its time when it came to helping nonprofits with virtual and hybrid events. Today, though, because of the pandemic and its lasting impact on community gatherings of any kind … Swell Fundraising finds itself in prime time.
