Today's Five-Star Guest is Devika Narayanan, Chief of Staff of Nostos Homes Internal displacement can happen suddenly, following an environmental disaster like a hurricane or an earthquake. It may occur over a short, intense period of civil war; it may take place slowly and continually over decades; it may be the result of public or private sector development projects. At Nostos, they build homes for the forcibly displaced to help them thrive. Their innovative homes are designed to serve as intermediate shelters for people displaced due to violent conflict or natural disasters. The shelters are modular, light-weight and can be easily transported to affected areas.

Today's Five-Star Guest is Courtney Backen, Director of Community and Capacity Development for GiveMN and RaiseMN. Courtney leads the charge on resource and tool building for GiveMN and RaiseMN. With a background in fundraising for several Minnesota-based organizations like Friends of the Hennepin County Library, Environment Minnesota, and Minnesota Public Radio, Courtney helps provide fundraising tools and resources that take nonprofits and schools to the next level. Courtney graduated from Concordia College-Moorhead with an English Literature degree (her favorite authors are Haruki Murakami and Louise Erdrich) and received her master’s in Nonprofit Management from Hamline University. When she’s not fundraising, you can find Courtney knitting, shopping at Trader Joe’s or taste-testing the newest Haribo gummy flavor. RaiseMN is the answer to years of research, listening, and planning as the GiveMN board and staff sought to fill the critical gap identified by Minnesota nonprofits: a lack of confidence that organizational fundraising strategy and infrastructure will keep up with the demands of their missions, especially among small- to medium-sized nonprofits.
