Why would cybercriminals target nonprofit organizations—entities dedicated to doing good? According to Alex Brown, Director of Cybersecurity Solutions at Richey May, the answer is both chilling and practical: "Hackers are heartless," he says. “They just want the information or funds or whatever they can get.”In this eye-opening episode, host Julia Patrick and Alex explore the intersection of digital vulnerability and mission-driven work. Nonprofits may not seem like lucrative targets, but they often possess exactly what bad actors seek: valuable donor data, low cybersecurity maturity, and outdated assumptions about their exposure to risk.Alex breaks down how modern cyberattacks no longer rely solely on high-dollar ransoms. Instead, sensitive donor data—especially involving high-net-worth individuals—can be easily sold on the dark web. What makes nonprofits especially attractive is not just the value of the data but the relative ease of access. “The corner store is a lot easier to take things from than your bank,” Alex notes, comparing nonprofit vulnerabilities to the path of least resistance.AI has accelerated this threat. With the rise of tools like ransomware-as-a-service, cybercriminals now use bots to scan for weaknesses and deliver targets without lifting a finger. While nonprofit teams may be using AI for grant writing, hackers are using it to scale attacks with terrifying efficiency.The conversation also confronts the false sense of security nonprofits place in cloud-based platforms. Many believe these tools handle all aspects of protection. In reality, the shared responsibility model places the onus on organizations to control user access, manage passwords, and train staff to identify suspicious activity. “It's secure while it's in the cloud—but who accesses that cloud is your responsibility,” says Alex.From scam trends that leverage urgency psychology to long-term breaches that go undetected for months, the threats are evolving. But so can the response. Alex introduces the concept of a cybersecurity roadmap—a phased approach that focuses on policy, technical controls, incident response, and employee education. Remote work, he warns, adds new dimensions to the threat landscape if employee devices and networks aren't properly secured.This isn't a “one-and-done” initiative—it's a mindset. “You don't do cybersecurity this year,” says Alex. “You do it forever.”#CyberSecurityForNonprofits #AIandDataProtection #DonorDataRiskFind us Live daily on YouTube!Find us Live daily on LinkedIn!Find us Live daily on X: @Nonprofit_ShowOur national co-hosts and amazing guests discuss management, money and missions of nonprofits! 12:30pm ET 11:30am CT 10:30am MT 9:30am PTSend us your ideas for Show Guests or Topics: HelpDesk@AmericanNonprofitAcademy.comVisit us on the web:The Nonprofit Show

One of the most pressing conversations in nonprofit leadership: when and how to expand your development team! With humor, candor, and real-world insights, our cohosts unpack the strategy behind scaling up—and why it's not just an “expense” but an investment in your mission's growth.“Now more than ever—we've heard that phrase for decades. We need to call things out for what they really are,” Tony Beall begins, challenging nonprofit leaders to rethink overused buzzwords and focus instead on strategic timing. Expansion isn't just about growth—it's about aligning strategy, operations, and finance to support your organization's evolution.Julia Patrick adds: “So many nonprofits are going to have to change the way they look at their revenue models… and their labor structures.” She emphasizes that expanding your fundraising team is not just a trend—it's a necessity in a shifting landscape of donor behavior and economic pressures.The duo explores reasons for team expansion, from burnout prevention and portfolio diversification to risk mitigation. Tony offers a caution: hiring someone simply for their donor list is shortsighted. “I'm not hiring you for your portfolio of potential. I'm hiring you for your ability to perform.” That clarity helps frame realistic expectations and long-term outcomes.They also discuss the evolving spectrum of fundraising talent—why someone good at one-on-one donor relationships might not excel at grant writing or digital campaigns. Tony and Julia encourage leaders to define the revenue streams they aim to grow, then match those streams with specialized skills, not generic fundraising experience.Another highlight: the value of hiring individuals with mission-aligned backgrounds, even if they come from outside the sector. Whether it's a sales star from a car dealership or a community relations manager from city government, Tony suggests onboarding should flex to match their prior experience while still emphasizing program impact and community outcomes.The lively discussion closes with guidance on posting salary ranges, offering flexible benefits, and using fractional or contract talent to test-drive new roles. Transparency, customization, and equity are themes woven throughout their practical advice.This is a masterclass in nonprofit workforce development—and a terrific reminder that the future of fundraising depends not just on your raising dollars, but on raising the right team.#DevelopmentStrategy #FundraisersFriday #NonprofitLeadershipFind us Live daily on YouTube!Find us Live daily on LinkedIn!Find us Live daily on X: @Nonprofit_ShowOur national co-hosts and amazing guests discuss management, money and missions of nonprofits! 12:30pm ET 11:30am CT 10:30am MT 9:30am PTSend us your ideas for Show Guests or Topics: HelpDesk@AmericanNonprofitAcademy.comVisit us on the web:The Nonprofit Show

Welcome to Nonprofit Insights, a podcast focused on tax, auditing, accounting, and other topics in the nonprofit world. In this episode, Joe Byrne, Melissa Magoon, and Emily Parker tackle some of the most common tax and finance questions we hear from organizations like yours. Do you need to report that money as Unrelated Business Income (UBI)? Which vendors require a Form 1099? What should you do if your finance person suddenly leaves? Our seasoned experts break it all down and share practical insights to help you stay compliant and confident.

All too often, capitalism is identified with the for-profit sector. However, one organizational form whose importance is often overlooked is nonprofits. Roughly 4% of the American economy, including most universities and hospital systems, are nonprofit.One prominent nonprofit currently at the center of a raging debate is OpenAI, the $300 billion American artificial intelligence research organization best known for developing ChatGPT. Founded in 2015 as a donation-based nonprofit with a mission to build AI for humanity, it created a complex “hybrid capped profit” governance structure in 2019. Then, after a dramatic firing and re-hiring of CEO Sam Altman in 2023 (covered on an earlier episode of Capitalisn't: “Who Controls AI?”), a new board of directors announced that achieving OpenAI's mission would require far more capital than philanthropic donations could provide and initiated a process to transition to a for-profit public benefit corporation. This process has been fraught with corporate drama, including one early OpenAI investor, Elon Musk, filing a lawsuit to stop the process and launching a $97.4 billion unsolicited bid for OpenAI's nonprofit arm.Beyond the staggering valuation numbers at stake here–not to mention OpenAI's open pursuit of profits over the public good–are complicated legal and philosophical questions. Namely, what happens when corporate leaders violate the founding purpose of a firm? To discuss, Luigi and Bethany are joined by Rose Chan Loui, the founding executive director of the Lowell Milken Center on Philanthropy and Nonprofits at UCLA Law and co-author of the paper "Board Control of a Charity's Subsidiaries: The Saga of OpenAI.” Is OpenAI a “textbook case of altruism vs. greed,” as the judge overseeing the case declared? Is AI for everyone, or only for investors? Together, they discuss how money can distort purpose and philanthropy, precedents for this case, where it might go next, and how it may shape the future of capitalism itself.Show Notes:Read extensive coverage of the Musk-OpenAI lawsuit on ProMarket, including Luigi's article from March 2024: “Why Musk Is Right About OpenAI.”Guest Disclosure (provided to The Conversation for an op-ed on the case): The authors do not work for, consult, own shares in, or receive funding from any company or organization that would benefit from this article. They have disclosed no relevant affiliations beyond their academic appointment.

On this episode of the Rules of the Game podcast, the second installment of our eight-part series focusing on critical issues, we dive into the latest headlines shaping racial justice and immigrant rights. We'll explore how nonprofits can play a pivotal role in advocating for change through legislative, executive, and judicial channels. From raising awareness to securing funding for advocacy efforts, nonprofits across the nation are stepping up in the fight to protect our rights. This episode not only highlights their impactful work but also provides crucial insights into the rules and regulations that govern nonprofit advocacy in the ongoing struggle for racial justice and immigrant rights.   Attorneys for this episode  Monika Graham Brittany Hacker Quyen Tu    Current Events/EOs:     ·      Trump Administration Cuts Funding for Unaccompanied Immigrant Children, essentially terminating the UAC Program   o   UAC Program Responsibilities: §  Ensuring that the interests of the child are considered in decisions related to care and custody §  Ensuring, to the greatest extent practicable, that all unaccompanied alien children in custody have access to legal representation or counsel §  Releasing UAC to qualified sponsors and family members who are determined to be capable of providing for the child's physical and mental well-being o   The Fallout: §  Impacts the work of 100 plus legal service providers §  RAICES 199+ employees laid off §  Interfaith Ministries of Greater Houston 101 employee layoffs §  Catholic Charities Tarrant County 169 employee layoffs §  Catholic Charities Houston/Dallas 180 employee layoffs §  Over 26, 000 children left without legal representation §  Immigration court backlog includes about 3.5 million cases ·      Attacks on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion o   Trump's order to investigate around 350 philanthropic organizations holding combined assets of $900B due to their DEI programs. o    Funders' responses: Some have remained steadfast in their commitment, while others have backed down. o   Context to understand the broader tension: ·       A surge in commitment to racial equity following the murder of George Floyd by police in 2020. ·       SCOTUS ruling in June 2023: The Supreme Court deemed race-conscious admissions policies at Harvard and UNC unconstitutional in the Students for Fair Admissions case, effectively ending affirmative action in college admissions. ·       In response to SFFA, in August 2023, the American Alliance for Equal Rights sued Fearless Fund, alleging its grant program for Black female entrepreneurs was racially discriminatory. The 11th Circuit Court halted the program during litigation, and Fearless Fund settled in September 2024, ending the program. As a result, grants or contracts restricted to a specific race may now violate federal law. o   Government and private sector DEI offices and programs have shut down. o   Numerous lawsuits are pending, creating additional legal uncertainty. o   Chilling effect already unfolding, with widespread chaos and uncertainty.   ·      Executive Orders (10 in the first 7 days) o   Ended humanitarian parole for immigrants from Cuba, Haiti, Venezuela, and Nicaragua, forcing those legally allowed into the U.S. to leave. o   Attempt to end birthright citizenship. o    Ramp-up of deportations, expanding the list of individuals prioritized for removal. o   Paused the refugee resettlement program, capping it at the lowest level in 40 years. o   Ongoing challenges: Many policies have been paused or are currently being contested in the courts. o   Impact on individuals: Deportations of student visa holders detained by masked individuals, and the arrest of Legal Permanent Residents (LPRs) based on their involvement in Free Palestine movements. o    Deportations to El Salvador without due process for immigrants alleged to be gang members—based solely on tattoos. o   Wrongful deportation: A Maryland man was deported to El Salvador despite a court order prohibiting his deportation.

Funds must be used exclusively for the designated project. o   Note: Public foundations that have made the 501(h) election may follow the same general support and specific project grant rules that apply to private foundations, and these grants should not be considered a lobbying expenditure by the foundation, even if the recipient public charity spends the grant funds on lobbying ·      Public Awareness: o   Amplify the voices of unaccompanied children through powerful storytelling campaigns that humanize their experiences and bring attention to their plight. o   Conduct in-depth research on the impact of funding cuts, highlighting how these reductions are affecting the lives of vulnerable children, and share these findings publicly to increase awareness. o   Actively engage with your community by hosting events, discussions, or social media campaigns that educate the public on current issues surrounding unaccompanied immigrant children and provide actionable ways they can advocate for meaningful change.

Dr. Tracy Baynes—Founder and CEO of the Student Expedition Program (STEP)—shares how a wilderness leadership initiative evolved into a powerful, multi-year college access program transforming lives.STEP focuses on first-generation, low-income students in large public high schools, many of whom might otherwise never be encouraged to pursue higher education. Through a personalized approach—monthly workshops, advising, and family engagement—STEP prepares students academically, emotionally, and practically to not just attend college, but to thrive in it.Dr. Baynes explains how her early career working aboard ships and in outdoor education sparked an uncomfortable realization: “I was only working with wealthy students. And I thought, where is everybody else?” This question became the genesis of STEP.Over time, the program matured from summer expeditions to a fully integrated college prep curriculum starting in students' sophomore year. The turning point? A high-achieving student inspired by Dr. Baynes to apply to Smith College—without ever having heard of it before. But her transcript lacked the rigor. “She had straight A's throughout high school and not a single educator had said, ‘You should take another course,'” Dr. Baynes recalls. That gap in guidance pushed STEP to grow.The conversation unpacks the hidden roadblocks facing low-income students: lack of college counseling, financial aid complexity, and cultural barriers. Dr. Baynes' solution? Equip both students and families with knowledge, tools, and confidence. “Our goal is to become obsolete in your life,” she says. “We want you to have the tools to meet the challenges ahead.”Today, 96% of STEP graduates are enrolled in or have completed college. The secret sauce? Relational trust, rigorous expectations, and strategic partnerships with schools that meet 100% of students' financial need.If you believe in generational change through education, this episode will challenge, inspire, and empower you to see possibility where others see limitation.#FirstGenSuccess #CollegeAccessForAll #BreakTheCycleFind us Live daily on YouTube!Find us Live daily on LinkedIn!Find us Live daily on X: @Nonprofit_ShowOur national co-hosts and amazing guests discuss management, money and missions of nonprofits! 12:30pm ET 11:30am CT 10:30am MT 9:30am PTSend us your ideas for Show Guests or Topics: HelpDesk@AmericanNonprofitAcademy.comVisit us on the web:The Nonprofit Show

About Isaac MacDonald:In his eight-year tenure at Trepwise, Isaac has consulted with over a hundred organizations and initiatives, including the New Orleans Youth Master Plan, the Jazz & Heritage Festival & Foundation, and the Orleans Public Defender's Office. He received his B.A. in Urban Studies at Brown University, where he started the Urban Journal, an annual publication focused on building and sustaining the urban environments of the future. Before relocating to New Orleans, he worked at several environmental nonprofits in Washington, D.C. Isaac is a 2015 Venture for America Fellow and a 2021 New Leaders Council Fellow, and serves as Treasurer for the local chapter of the Sunrise Movement. In this episode, Dean Newlund and Isaac MacDonald discuss:Nonprofit organizational challenges in changing political landscapesReimagining leadership structures in social impact organizationsGovernment funding and nonprofit sustainabilityCommunity-driven transformation and place-based solutionsAdapting organizational models to complex environments Key Takeaways:To build long-term resilience, nonprofits should reduce their reliance on unpredictable government funding by developing diverse revenue sources, including earned income and creative funding models.By moving away from rigid hierarchies, organizations that embrace shared leadership structures can foster a more collaborative culture, promote innovation, and respond more effectively to change.Community-led efforts, rooted in local knowledge and shared values, offer a strong alternative to top-down approaches—allowing solutions to emerge from those closest to the challenges.Navigating today's dynamic political and social environments requires nonprofits to stay nimble. Embracing flexible, adaptive models can enhance responsiveness and support collective problem-solving. "One of the things that we're seeing right now is that nonprofits are experiencing multiple layers of uncertainty.” — Isaac MacDonald Connect with Isaac MacDonald:  Website: https://trepwise.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/isaac-macdonald-28229067 & https://www.linkedin.com/company/trepwiseX (Twitter): https://twitter.com/trepwiseFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/trepwise See Dean's TedTalk “Why Business Needs Intuition” here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEq9IYvgV7I Connect with Dean:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgqRK8GC8jBIFYPmECUCMkwWebsite: https://www.mfileadership.com/The Mission Statement E-Newsletter: https://www.mfileadership.com/blog/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/deannewlund/X (Twitter): https://twitter.com/deannewlundFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/MissionFacilitators/Email: dean.newlund@mfileadership.comPhone: 1-800-926-7370 Show notes by Podcastologist: Hanz Jimuel AlvarezAudio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

The recent sweeping cuts to USAID and other federal programs have rattled fundraisers across the country and in all sectors. Uncertainty is widespread as nonprofit leaders wait to see just what the fallout will be. Whether your organization was impacted or is anticipating a budget shortfall, scaling back on riskier strategies like acquisition can be tempting. In fact, media spending, testing, and other efforts that help you reach potential donors are often the first things to go. But if you're not seeking new donors, how will you replace those you lose through natural attrition? What about the ones who have to give less due to their own financial hardships? In this episode of the Go Beyond Fundraising podcast, we're making the case for prioritizing acquisition — especially when you've been hit with unexpected budget cuts. Two Allegiance Group + Pursuant AVPs, Erin Robertson and J.C. Bouvier, share how you can use this difficult time to attract new prospects. And if the budget crunch hasn't hit yet, they have tips to help you prepare. By staying true to your mission and leading into your opportunities, you can weather this storm

Despite being a sector dominated by women, nonprofit leadership remains disproportionately male. In this episode of The Small Nonprofit Podcast, Maria Rio sits down with Caitlin McBride to unpack the gender gap at the top. They dig into everything from the “motherhood penalty” vs. the “fatherhood bonus,” to sneaky internalized biases and straight-up structural BS. Just because our sector talks about equity, doesn't mean we're actually living it. Whether you're climbing the ladder, job hunting, or just trying to survive nonprofit life as a woman or gender-diverse human, this episode will leave you fired up, inspired, and feeling a little less alone. Nonprofit Leadership & Gender Equity – The Highlights: Women are the backbone of the nonprofit workforce - but still left out of leadership: Despite making up 80% of the sector, women hold less than half of executive roles - and even fewer in larger organizations. The world treats women's time as infinite and men's as precious: Women are expected to “figure it out” at work and home: juggling unpaid labor, emotional caretaking, and their careers without complaint. Women are underpaid and undervalued:  Orgs justify low salaries by pointing to women's partners' incomes, reinforcing harmful assumptions. Green flags to look out for: From tampon access in bathrooms to child-friendly meeting times, true inclusion is in the details. Does the org walk their equity talk? Representation alone isn't enough if power dynamics remain unchanged.

As a businesswoman who is also totally blind, she has a unique insight into what it takes for regular, every-day businesses to tap into a market which they may not fully understand or readily think is available to them. With humor and straight talk tempered with patience, she shows organizations how to make the necessary adjustments, often with a lot less effort than they think, to be able to tap into this hidden buying market. One of Angela's more popular presentations is “The Best Kept Secret for Increasing your Bottom Line,” which is always an audience favorite due to her plain speech and straight-forward nature.Angela runs her speaking and consulting business from her home in Northern California, which she shares with her 18-year-old son, whose life seems to barely include her, her feisty kitten, who very clearly prefers her son and her loving dog of indeterminate breed who thinks she's God's gift to doggie-kind and cannot get enough of her company. When she's not working, she enjoys true crime, sports, and cooking the best tri-tip on God's planet low and slow on the barbecue. Connect with Angela Fowler!Website: https://reallifeaccess.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/angela-fowler-69540135/----- If you're struggling, consider therapy with our sponsor, BetterHelp.Visit https://betterhelp.com/candicesnyder for a 10% discount on your first month of therapy.*This is a paid promotionIf you are in the United States and in crisis or any other person may be in danger -Suicide & Crisis Lifeline Dial 988----- Connect with Candice Snyder!Website: https://www.podpage.com/passion-purpose-and-possibilities-1/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/candicebsnyder?_rdrPassion, Purpose, and Possibilities Community Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/passionpurposeandpossibilitiescommunity/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/passionpurposepossibilities/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/candicesnyder/Shop For A Cause With Gifts That Give Back to Nonprofits: https://thekindnesscause.com/Fall In Love With Artists And Experience Joy And Calm: https://www.youtube.com/@movenartrelaxation
