When I was 23, I could not even fathom starting a nonprofit, but Courtney Johnson did just that. In this episode, she shares her extraordinary journey and how her father’s battle with long cancer inspired her to start Culinary Care, an organization dedicated to supporting cancer patients with nourishing meals.

Fostering corporate partnerships have been a game changer for Courtney and she walks us through how hosting 20 of their interactive, culinary “cookoff” events resulted in $300,000!

We break down the details of how companies can sponsor a cookoff, how Culinary Care partners with local restaurants, and her strategies for growing past 200+ monthly donors in their giving program.

Personal connections have also played a pivotal role in building their community and retaining donors, and we discuss how Courtney's personal branding and authentic storytelling have bolstered their mission.

I love how Courtney's unwavering commitment and fearlessness has not only honored her father's memory, but created a compassionate support system for those fighting cancer.
