This week on Nonprofits Today, host Sarah Boxx sits down with legendary Pittsburgh journalist and nonprofit leader Bill Flanagan to explore his powerful journey from business reporting to civic transformation.

As the former Chief Corporate Relations Officer for the Allegheny Conference on Community Development, Bill has been a key force in shaping regional growth through public-private partnerships. In this episode, we dive deep into the art of strategic communication, empowering volunteer leadership, and the patient pursuit of long-term community goals.

Whether you're a small nonprofit or a large civic organization, this episode offers timeless lessons in leadership, trust-building, and creating impact that lasts.

In This Episode:

• Bill’s transition from KDKA-TV to nonprofit leadership
• What listening can teach us about fundraising and relationship-building
• The power of public-private partnerships (and how to start one)
• Why Pittsburgh’s model for civic renewal works—and what you can learn from it
• Advice for nonprofit leaders on storytelling, media strategy, and meaningful engagement

Wisdom Nugget: “The most helpful trait from my reporting days that translated to nonprofit management and fundraising was listening.”

In this moving episode of Nonprofits Today, we’re joined by Deborah Jankowski, founder of the CRPS Warriors Foundation—a powerhouse nonprofit providing global support, education, and hope for people living with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS).

A survivor and advocate herself, Deborah transformed her personal battle with this debilitating nerve condition into a mission that spans continents. From navigating misdiagnoses and life-threatening surgeries to building a foundation with 40 global volunteers, Deborah’s journey is a testament to the power of community, resilience, and unwavering hope.

• What CRPS is and why it’s called the “suicide disease”
• How the CRPS Warriors Foundation meets the unique needs of patients and families
• Why community-driven nonprofits need creative funding strategies
• The critical role of volunteers, collaboration, and trust in nonprofit growth
• Deborah’s vision for expanding CRPS research, scholarships, and global impact

Deborah’s Key Message:

“Despite being a non-curable illness, don’t ever give up. Having a disability doesn’t mean you need to stop living. No CRPS Warrior will be left behind.”
