In a new episode of Untapped Philanthropy, Jay Winuk, co-founder and Executive Vice President of 9/11 Day, joins hosts Kerrin Mitchell and Tim Sarrantonio to explore how a day born from tragedy became one of the nation’s largest days of service.

Jay shares how the loss of his brother, Glenn, inspired him and co-founder David Paine to transform the anniversary of September 11 into a day dedicated to remembrance and doing good. The conversation explores how coalition building, national service, and accessible ways to participate have helped 9/11 Day grow over the past 25 years.

In a new episode of Untapped Philanthropy, Olivia Jones, Senior Arts and Culture Funding Manager for the City of San Diego, joins hosts Kerrin Mitchell and Tim Sarrantonio to explore what equitable and accessible grantmaking requires in practice.

Drawing on her experience as both a nonprofit leader and public sector grantmaker, Olivia examines how complicated language, rigid spending restrictions, and traditional reporting requirements can create unnecessary barriers for the organizations seeking support. The conversation explores how funders can communicate more clearly, make application materials accessible, offer greater flexibility in how funds are used, and recognize forms of community impact that cannot always be captured through conventional measurements.

Listeners will come away with a clearer understanding of why equitable grantmaking requires more than changing terminology or following philanthropic trends. It requires trust, consistency, accessibility, and a willingness to design funding systems around the real needs of communities and the organizations serving them.

In a new episode of Untapped Philanthropy, Amber Melanie Smith, award-winning nonprofit founder, social entrepreneur, and creator of Activate Good, joins host Tim Sarrantonio to explore what it means to build a life and career around genuine community service.

Drawing on two decades of mobilizing volunteers and supporting nonprofit leaders, Amber reframes the connection between personal identity and civic action. The conversation examines why so many people want to make a difference but may not know where to start, how social entrepreneurship can become a path to impact, and what philanthropists and funders often miss about the people already doing the work at the grassroots level.

Listeners will come away with a clearer sense of how to align their skills, values, and lived experience with the change they want to help create, and why that alignment is essential to sustainable, meaningful giving.

In a new episode of Untapped Philanthropy, philanthropic psychologist Jen Shang joins hosts Kerrin Mitchell and Tim Sarrantonio to explore a fundamental question: what if giving is rooted in identity, rather than financial transaction?

Drawing on decades of research, Jen introduces philanthropic psychology as the study of how people love, and how that understanding can reshape fundraising, grantmaking, and the broader social sector. The conversation centers on how generosity connects to meaning, relationships, and psychological well-being.

Together, Kerrin, Tim, and Jen explore how foundations and nonprofits can move beyond strategy to better understand the individuals behind decisions. From authenticity in leadership to the role of identity in shaping philanthropic environments, they discuss why creating space for reflection, listening, and human connection can lead to more impactful and sustainable outcomes.

They also unpack the tension between love and power in philanthropy, and what it looks like to center dignity, trust, and genuine care in the process.
