What does it take to turn passion into purpose? In this episode of TNC Talks Nonprofit, hosts Mercedes and Scott sit down with Maureen DeFelice, CEO of the Daedalion Foundation, to explore how her journey led to supporting the next generation of military aviators.

In this episode, you’ll hear about:

  • Why real flight experience makes all the difference for future aviators

  • The often-overlooked power of a strong, supportive nonprofit board

  • Practical tips on fundraising and scaling impact without losing your mission
