Join us for S3: EP19 of the Sports Philanthropy Podcast as Chris Lesner, Founder and CEO of Project World Impact, sits down with our host, Roy Kessel, to discuss helping non-profits around the world, starting his own business, and his desire to give back to the world.
Chris went through life always wanting to start his own business and while in college he started a marketing company. That same company grew during his college years and he worked with Fortune 500 companies, and generating millions of dollars of revenue before even graduating college. However, he became inspired by nonprofits and wanted to help them. He decided to leave his marketing company and apply his knowledge to a new business, Project World Impact, to help nonprofits gain more funding, volunteers, and visibility.

ways for people to connect with and support nonprofits.
