The Truth about Physicians and Philanthropy

We Can't Do This Alone is the podcast for philanthropy professionals who know that collaboration with allies isn't just helpful—it's essential.

Hosted by a seasoned heath care philanthropy professional, this show explores how partnership with key allies—physicians, nursing leaders, executives, and board members—can unlock greater giving, strengthen relationships, and drive transformational impact.

In each episode, we talk with those very allies and the philanthropy officers who've worked alongside them. You'll hear practical strategies, powerful success stories, and honest insights on how to work with key allies and to raise more money in partnership.

Whether you're a frontline fundraiser or executive looking to better understand the powerful impact of allyship in philanthropy, you will find value in hearing the firsthand accounts of allies who have partnered with philanthropy to raise significant funds for their organizations. 

Because in philanthropy… we can't do this alone.
