He is the Chief Ratings Technology Officer at Charity Navigator and the brain behind the new Encompass Rating System—a new way to evaluate nonprofits. This isn't just another way to look at fundraising efficiencies and program expenses. It is about a gaining a 360 view of a nonprofit, empowering donors, and partnering with the nonprofits being evaluated. This new rating system is changing the nonprofit landscape—and we wanted to learn from the expert who is designing it. Today's podcast episode also highlights the various complex problems that Stephen has solved using technology through his career. Towards the end of the episode, Stephen reveals what he thinks today's nonprofits need to do to be on the cutting edge and be a top-rated nonprofit.
