About this listen

In this episode, Mick and Britt sit down with Jay Nwachu, President & CEO of Innovation Works and Ignite Capital, to unpack the real challenges facing Baltimore’s nonprofit ecosystem.
Jay shares how his team helps over 200 local entrepreneurs and social enterprises find funding, mentorship, and sustainability while bridging the gap between purpose and profit.

They dig into:

  • Why Baltimore has so many nonprofits — and how that can both help and hurt the city

  • The funding problem — why philanthropic dollars alone aren’t enough

  • How social entrepreneurs can attract venture-style capital without losing their mission

  • The power of collaboration across neighborhoods, business, and city government

If you care about Baltimore’s future, community impact, or building sustainable change, this conversation breaks down what real progress looks like.
