Growing a Nonprofit Without Western Aid

What does sustainable global philanthropy look like when it is not built around Western aid? On The Nonprofit Show – Global Edition, Julia C. Patrick of American Nonprofit Academy and Matthew Murray of Expand PR welcome Paul Smith, UK Director of Musana, for a compelling conversation about a different model of international nonprofit work. Musana’s work in Uganda challenges the traditional assumptions about how programs are funded, led, and sustained. Rather than depending on outside aid as the engine, their approach centers local leadership, community connection, and long-term sustainability. This episode explores how international philanthropy is changing — and why nonprofit leaders, donors, and global partners need to think differently about impact. The need is real. The work is urgent. But the playbook is being rewritten. Get SHOW RECORDING delivered: https://bit.ly/growing-without-aid Watch LIVE: https://streamyard.com/watch/iMys2bbA... 12:30pm ET 11:30am CT 10:30am MT 9:30am PT
