In this Nonprofit Spotlight episode of the Charity Charge Show, host Grayson Harris speaks with Bethany Cartledge , Executive Director of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul of Lane County . Bethany breaks down how the organization serves people across five counties in Oregon and two cities in California through three core pillars: affordable housing, retail and manufacturing, and homeless and emergency services. She explains what success looks like for her team, how they maintain an "all hands on deck" culture across 600+ employees, and why servant leadership and internal promotion are central to their model. The conversation covers collaboration with local government and agencies, the launch of the Schlis Resource Center, the Cascade Alliance program for helping other nonprofits build earned revenue, and how Bethany evaluates new opportunities and donor proposals against mission, capacity, and long term impact. --------------------------- About Charity Charge Charity Charge is a financial technology company serving the nonprofit sector.
