Customer Reviews
Startup nonprofit
Tranquility Base USA is a new startup 501(c) and listening to the Jenni show has been most helpful. From fundraising to board leadership, Jenni covers many topics with special guests who offer valuable information and resources.
What a great listen!
There’s so many facets of the nonprofit world and so many things to consider, especially as a small nonprofit! Jenni has not only given me personally some real advice, but also covered many topics that I just don’t have time to dig into. She’s a gem!
Great host!
Jenni asks great questions, thinks about what listeners will want to hear, and is super professional! I love listening and loved being a guest, too!
