Every begins with a spark. But what happens when that founding vision—once a strength—starts to quietly limit growth?

Founder’s Syndrome isn’t about ego; it’s about evolution. Left unaddressed, it can blur decision-making, stall innovation, complicate fundraising, and strain staff and board relationships. The hardest part? Many organizations don’t realize it’s happening until momentum slows.

Join us for a candid and practical conversation with Brittan Stockert, Fundraising Coach at , as we explore how to recognize the warning signs, navigate leadership transitions, and move toward shared, sustainable governance without losing the heart of the mission.

If you care about healthy leadership, resilient culture, and long-term nonprofit success—this is a must-watch.

For many boards, “fundraising” feels like a four-letter word. Cue the groans, the awkward silence, the quick shuffle of papers. But what if we’ve been asking the wrong thing from the wrong people in the wrong way?

On this week’s Fundraisers Friday, Tony Beall of Mister Nonprofit Consultancy and Julia C. Patrick break open a smarter pathway forward—one that replaces pressure with clarity, and dread with connection.

They reveal four distinct roles board members can play in advancing development: Natural, Practical, Relationship-centered, And yes… even enjoyable.

When boards understand their lane, fundraising becomes less about asking and more about championing. And that shift can transform your organization’s momentum. If your board is stuck, hesitant, or simply unsure where to start, this roadmap changes everything. Say goodbye to eye rolls—and hello to real engagement.

Still Getting Asked “What’s Your Overhead?” Here’s How to Flip the Script.

It’s the question every nonprofit pro dreads—and it’s doing real damage. The obsession with “low overhead” has punished organizations for investing in staff, systems, and long-term sustainability.

Adam shares practical language, financial framing, and mindset shifts that help donors understand a crucial truth: Impact isn’t created by starving your organization—it's created by strengthening it.

If your team is tired of defending admin costs, or if you want donors to see the full value of strategic investment, this conversation is a game-changer.

A grant writer and a fundraiser walk into a bar… and no, it’s not a joke. It’s the reality for many nonprofits that expect two very different professional personalities to collaborate seamlessly on high-stakes projects.

On Friday’s episode of The Nonprofit Show, Tony Beall of Mister Nonprofit Consultancy and Julia C. Patrick of the American Nonprofit Academy tackle one of the sector’s quietest tensions: the sometimes-thorny relationship between grant writers and fundraisers. They explore how communication styles differ, why expectations get misaligned, and what organizations can do to build trust and alignment between these essential roles.

This conversation cuts through the myths and frustrations and replaces them with practical strategies for collaboration. Learn how to create shared processes, reduce turf battles, respect each other’s strengths, and channel both superpowers toward a unified revenue strategy.

If you’ve ever witnessed miscommunication—or stepped on a toe or two—this episode will help you reset the dynamic with confidence, clarity, and impact.
