In our current series on Wayfind Marketing Live, we’ve talked with several business owners about their experiences navigating the unpredictable waters of 2020, but on Friday we turn our attention to the nonprofit arena.

Nonprofits that generally rely on fundraising events have had to think through creative ways to continue raising awareness and financial support through virtual means. This is a challenge that our friends at Spreading Sunshine have taken head-on.

We are proud to welcome our friend Diane Smith, Executive Director of Spreading Sunshine, to the show this week. Spreading Sunshine is a Memphis-based nonprofit that serves chronically ill children and their families by providing practical, spiritual, and emotional support during a child’s extended hospital stay. In this episode, we talk with Diane about what it’s been like to navigate the ongoing demands of support-raising, as well as, continuing to serve this high-risk population in the midst of the pandemic.
