What if nonprofits could actually deliver 85% of donations straight to the mission, and ditch the admin sludge that holds them back?
In this episode, Matt and Luigi sit down with impact strategist Missy Mastel (CPA, CGMA), founder of Mastel Consulting. They unpack how nonprofits (and even for-profits) can streamline operations, leverage AI, and build purpose-driven cultures. Highlights include administrative hacks, fundraising wisdom, and how social-good strategies attract both donors and top talent.
Here’s what you’ll learn:
✅ How nonprofits evolved from Roman corporations to IRS tax code heroes
✅ Why 85% of donations should hit the mission—and how Missy makes that happen
✅ The real difference between nonprofits, foundations, and B Corps

✅ Why corporations like Subaru and Rolex use impact as a marketing play
✅ How younger donors give monthly on autopilot—and why that’s gold
✅ The secret to landing big-name donors: talk to the marketing team, not the CEO
✅ What a “triple bottom line” really means, and why your org needs it to stay relevant
✅ How Boomers are making peace with the planet
