Research That Matters Podcast
Making research more accessible to the nonprofit sector
The Research That Matters Podcast, managed and produced by the Journal of Nonprofit Innovation (JoNI), brings timely, evidence-based insights directly to nonprofit leaders, practitioners, researchers, and policymakers.
Each episode draws from articles published in JoNI, curated summaries of current research by topic, and essential highlights shaping the nonprofit and social impact sector. The podcast is designed to make rigorous research more accessible, practical, and relevant—bridging the gap between scholarship and real-world application.
