How to Build a Nonprofit

How to Build a Nonprofit isn’t your typical “thought leader” podcast. It’s real talk with real people who’ve dared to start something meaningful—and managed to keep it going (most days). Each episode dives into the messy, inspiring, behind-the-scenes stories of nonprofit founders and builders. We talk about the stuff people don’t usually put on grant reports—burnout, bad board decisions, flopped fundraisers, surprising wins, and the little pivots that made a big difference. If you’re starting a nonprofit, scaling one, or just wondering if you’re the only one making it up as you go… you’re in the right place. This show is here to remind you: you’re not alone, you’re not crazy, and yes—this work is still worth doing.

"From Financial Failure to Community Transformation | Patricia Ashanti, Delta Circles, Inc.

Patricia Ashanti has a vision that won't quit. After a financial mistake at McDonald's opened her eyes to the economic exploitation happening in her community, she spent over a decade building something powerful in the Arkansas Delta. Since founding Delta Circles in 2013, she's taught financial literacy to hundreds of families, secured a 20-acre school campus for 50 years at no cost, and created an innovation hub that's bringing technology, entrepreneurship, and hope back to Helena-West Helena.

In this episode, she talks about the car accident that changed everything, why she chose nonprofit over business, the compliance mistake that nearly shut her down, and the storytelling exercise that helped her finally see herself as the leader she'd always been.
