ALTRUWE, ORGANIZER OF PODCASTHON

Podcasthon is the world’s largest podcast charity initiative, bringing together podcasters globally to raise awareness for charitable causes. Behind this growing movement are two visionary co-founders: Jeremie Mani and Yves Delnatte.
<h3 data-start="414" data-end="442">Meet the Co-Founders</h3>
<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeremiemani/">Jeremie Mani</a> (<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeremiemani/">Linkedin profile</a>) is a French entrepreneur with over 20 years of experience in the digital industry. Before dedicating himself entirely to Podcasthon, Jeremie built and sold two successful companies in email marketing and content moderation. After moving to Canada in 2020, he began reflecting on how he could use his skills to make a meaningful impact. Rather than launching another business, he wanted to create something that would mobilize thousands of people for a greater cause. That’s where Podcasthon was born—a volunteer-driven initiative aimed at uniting the power of podcasting with the needs of charities.
You can hear more about Jeremie in this <a href="https://podnews.net/article/podcasthon-2025-introduction">video interview featured on PodNews.</a>
&nbsp;
<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/%F0%9F%A4%94%E2%9C%A8yves-delnatte-%F0%9F%8E%99%F0%9F%99%8F%F0%9F%8F%BB-58a43472/">Yves Delnatte</a> (<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/%F0%9F%A4%94%E2%9C%A8yves-delnatte-%F0%9F%8E%99%F0%9F%99%8F%F0%9F%8F%BB-58a43472/">Linkedin profile</a>) is a seasoned entrepreneur and investor with a rich background in business development. He has founded and led multiple ventures across various industries, bringing a wealth of experience to the table. Yves&#8217;s journey has been marked by a commitment to leveraging business as a force for good, which naturally led him to co-found Podcasthon alongside Jeremie. His vision is to harness the intimacy and authenticity of podcasts to drive awareness for important causes, creating a global ripple effect of positive change.
<h3 data-start="1638" data-end="1660">Our Motivation</h3>
Traditional fundraising methods like charity galas, marathons, and auctions have their limits. They often require large budgets, exclusive access, or short-lived engagement. Meanwhile, charities around the world struggle to reach new audiences and create long-term connections.
<h3 data-start="2614" data-end="2647">Our Vision for the Future</h3>
Podcasthon started in 2023 with 300 French-speaking podcasters. It grew to over 400 in 2024 and is now expanding worldwide. Our dream? To see Podcasthon become a global tradition, uniting thousands of podcasters in dozens of languages each year.
We believe that &#8220;podcasting for good&#8221; should be more than a buzzword. It should be a movement. By leveraging technology, storytelling, and community engagement, we hope to inspire millions of listeners to care, to act, and to make a difference—one podcast at a time.

On one hand, there is the exceptional listening quality of podcasts. On the other, the urgent need for charitable organizations to raise awareness and connect with a broader circle of supporters.

Because Podcasts attract a loyal and engaged audience!

What is Podcasthon?
Launched by French entrepreneurs <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeremiemani/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Jeremie Mani</a> and <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/%F0%9F%A4%94%E2%9C%A8yves-delnatte-%F0%9F%8E%99%F0%9F%99%8F%F0%9F%8F%BB-58a43472/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Yves Delnatte</a>, Podcasthon is an initiative that doesn’t require you to raise funds but rather focuses on generating awareness. The idea is simple: select a nonprofit close to your heart, create a podcast episode, and release it during the week of March 15 to 21. This initiative creates a wave of awareness for nonprofits, leveraging the strong connection between podcasters and their audiences.
&nbsp;
Why Should Podcasters Participate in Podcasthon?
As someone who has worked in the nonprofit sector, I understand the challenges of raising both funds and awareness. Podcasthon allows podcasters to use their talent for content creation to support causes without the pressure of fundraising. This is especially appealing to those of us who might not run marathons or organize telethons but have a special talent for story-telling: stories sell and stay with us for years to come.
&nbsp;
Best Practices for Your Podcasthon Episode
First, when selecting a nonprofit, consider those within your industry or ones pivotal in your personal journey. Storytelling is a powerful tool, and sharing personal experiences can deepen the connection with your audience.
When creating your episode, it&#8217;s essential to maintain consistency with your usual style. It shouldn&#8217;t feel like an advertisement but rather an authentic addition to your content library. Consider featuring interviews with nonprofit founders, team members, or beneficiaries to bring more dimensions to the story.
&nbsp;
Formats and Flexibility
Podcasters taking part in Podcasthon have flexibility when choosing their episode format:
* Solo episodes provide an opportunity to open up about a more personal side of you that listeners may have never known about,
* Interviews can enhance your network connections, provide future collaboration opportunities, and highlight founders, employees, volunteers or even beneficiaries,
* Episodes with a special segment allow you to get creative in how you bring the cause into the topic (think talking about Women in Tech and highlighting a nonprofit that creates opportunities for women in STEM)
* Bonus episodes allow you to take part in Podcasthon without disrupting your regular content schedule
* Repackage an old episode with new data, intro or information (least ideal but an option if you’ve run out of time)
Remember, the goal is not only to inform but to inspire action—whether it’s visiting a website or volunteering.
&nbsp;
Promote and Plan Ahead
The months leading up to March allow you to engage your audience in your planning process. Encourage them to suggest nonprofits and share personal stories to foster a more involved community. Remember, March is a prime time for discovering new podcasts, so participating in Podcasthon not only supports a good cause but also enhances your visibility.
Podcasthon provides a unique opportunity to bring positive change while expanding your reach. With the first two editions in French and this being the inaugural English venture, the initiative continues to grow, engaging over 1700 podcasters. To participate, visit <a href="https://www.podcasthon.org" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">podcasthon.org</a>, register, select your nonprofit, and prepare your episode for release.
&nbsp;
Leverage the power of your podcast to do good and potentially become part of someone&#8217;s everyday listening. Join the ranks of enthusiastic podcasters in this global initiative—it&#8217;s a step towards positive change that you won&#8217;t regret.
