Nonprofits are more exposed than ever, and the biggest risks often come from the simplest oversights. As Alex Brown, Director of Business Development at Richey May, warns on Monday’s episode of The Nonprofit Show, “When you leave your front door open, anybody can walk through.”

Cybercriminals are counting on nonprofits to be distracted, understaffed, and over-committed. Alex breaks down exactly where organizations are most vulnerable — from weak access controls to vendor risk to everyday staff habits that unintentionally invite trouble.

If your nonprofit handles donor data, financial records, or even volunteer sign-ups… this conversation is a must-watch. A few small moves today could prevent a devastating breach tomorrow.

� Your mission deserves protection.
Let’s lock the doors, tighten the windows, and keep cybercrime far from your organization.

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. From timelines to language to workflow, their perspectives often collide. Yet their shared goal—bringing in revenue—depends on finding common ground.

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.

A new dawn is here for nonprofit fundraising, and the organizations embracing it are already pulling ahead. Technology and data aren’t just helpful tools anymore—they’re reshaping how we understand donors, build relationships, and generate revenue. The sector is shifting, and smart nonprofits are shifting with it.

On Thursday’s episode of The Nonprofit Show, Kimberly O’Donnell, Chief Fundraising Officer at Bonterra, joins us to unpack this transformation and explain what it means for fund development teams at every level. Kimberly breaks down how technology is changing everyday fundraising operations, how data can sharpen your strategy, and why the tools you choose today will define your donor engagement tomorrow.

Her insights go far beyond trends. This is a clear-eyed look at how technology is disrupting the sector—and why that disruption can give your organization a genuine competitive advantage. From better forecasting to personalized donor journeys to smarter segmentation, Kimberly shows how tech can elevate your fundraising in ways most nonprofits haven’t even tapped into yet.

If you’re planning for the year ahead and want to fundraise smarter—not harder—this episode is essential.

Every nonprofit wants to believe they understand their donors. But the truth? Donor expectations are shifting faster than most organizations realize. The real question is whether your approach is keeping up.

On Tuesday’s episode of The Nonprofit Show, Lynne Wester, Principal and Founder of Donor Relations Group, brings us exclusive insights from the 2025 Pulse of Donor Relations Survey—a landmark look at donor sentiment, behavior, and engagement trends across the sector. This research goes far beyond the usual metrics and exposes how donors are interpreting missions, evaluating communications, and deciding where their generosity goes next.

Lynne breaks down what today’s donors actually want from nonprofits, where organizations unintentionally miss the mark, and how donor perception is evolving in ways that demand smarter, more strategic relationships. Her findings are a wake-up call for any nonprofit relying on “what has always worked.”

If donor engagement is part of your world—and it always is—this conversation will reshape how you show up, communicate, and cultivate trust.

Who Really Owns Your Nonprofit’s Data Protection? Data breaches aren’t just an IT problem—they’re a leadership problem. When a crisis hits, it’s easy to point fingers at staff, vendors, or that one unlucky person who clicked the wrong link. But the question most nonprofits never ask is the one that matters most: Where does responsibility for data protection actually begin?

On Monday’s episode of The Nonprofit Show, Engineering Director Josh Fricovsky from Cortavo and Technology Support Manager Taysha Adams from JMT Consulting take us straight into this issue. They explore why cybersecurity leadership can’t be delegated away, what organizations misunderstand about risk, and how nonprofit executives can shift their mindset before a breach occurs—not after.

If your nonprofit touches donor, client, or volunteer data—or if you’ve ever said “We’re too small to be a target”—this conversation is essential. Jost and Taysha bring clarity, urgency, and a fresh way to think about accountability in a digital world.

What if calling someone a donor versus an investor completely changes how they see your mission—and how you run your nonprofit? The language we use speaks volumes about our values, expectations, and even our confidence in the work we’re doing.

On Friday’s episode of The Nonprofit Show, cohosts Tony Beall of Mister Nonprofit Consultancy and Julia C. Patrick of the American Nonprofit Academy unpack this important shift in nonprofit vocabulary. Are we still asking for charity? Or are we inviting partners to invest in impact?

This isn’t just semantics—it’s a reflection of how we position our organizations in the broader social economy. Discover how this mindset shift can reshape relationships, fundraising strategies, and mission momentum in a world where purpose and power are constantly evolving.

Tune in for a conversation that may just change the way you talk about your work forever.

The federal government shutdown isn’t just a headline—it’s a real and growing challenge for nonprofits dependent on federal funding and partnerships. With staff off-duty, deadlines slipping, approvals stalled, and compliance requirements drifting, your organization could be facing a tidal wave of catch-up once things resume.

On Thursday’s episode of The Nonprofit Show, we’ll be joined by Derick Dreher, Department Leader of Government Funding at Your Part-Time Controller, who will walk us through what to anticipate, how to prepare now, and what to do to keep your mission moving despite the gravitational pull of government freeze-up. Derick will unpack key steps for staying proactive while things are in limbo—so when the lights turn back on, your nonprofit is ready to surge ahead rather than scramble.

Tune in—and get ahead of the chaos so your organization is positioned not just to weather the storm, but to emerge stronger.

“Where did the year go?” If you’re in the nonprofit world, you’re not alone in asking. As 2026 comes barreling toward us, the deadlines are tighter, the to-do lists are longer, and the pressure is on for impact, visibility, and results. But what if you could lighten the load without sacrificing quality or momentum?

On Monday’s episode of The Nonprofit Show, we welcome Katie Warnock, Founder and President of Staffing Boutique, to share how temp staffing can be the game-changing strategy your nonprofit didn’t know it needed. Katie breaks down where temporary labor can be most effective, how to trust and delegate with confidence, and why this flexible resource is perfect for everything from seasonal campaigns and events to admin support, data cleanup, and more.

If you’ve ever wished you could clone your team or add more hours to the day, this conversation might be the next best thing. Join us and discover how to stay focused, stay nimble, and finish the year strong—with less stress and more support.

Day 4 of Nonprofit Power Week—and we’re going behind the scenes of a bold organizational shift.

Jill shares how her expanded team now uses shared goals, aligned messaging, cross-functional creativity, and intentional leadership to deliver bigger impact under one roof.

Sometimes the most powerful partnerships start in your own office.
