We're connecting with the President of Stamford's Downtown Special Services District to learn the role the agency plays in placemaking and fostering personal connection. Hear how Stamford Downtown is fully engaged in boosting its community's profile and economic potential with creative programs including public art installations, upbeat public block parties, and highlighting the city's many thriving restaurants.

Then, we've got the first of a two-part For the People Special Report celebrating National Nonprofit Day by focusing on how nonprofits are diversifying their funding. we called on the VP and CFO at Connecticut's Community Economic Development Fund (CEDF) to explain how her organization not only helps small businesses, but also nonprofits through affordable financing, targeted training, and one-on-one coaching.

Then Part 2 of our Special Report continues with one of CEDF's own clients, the CEO and founder of Divine Strategic Solutions. This consulting firm partners with nonprofits, municipalities, and mission-driven organizations to strengthen leadership, improve operations, and build long-term sustainability. Our guest has lots of advice to offer for nonprofits regarding practical alternate funding sources, so if you have anything to do with a nonprofit, listen in!.
