From the publisher
Serving the nonprofit sector is a privilege. Leading a nonprofit organization is, (in my opinion), one of life's greatest joys. And one of life's greatest sources of heartburn. Where else can you both provide a critical service to your community and fill a key need in your market? While, simultaneously, be asked to work miracles on a shoestring budget and perform the roles of CEO and chief bottle washer. Leading a nonprofit is fulfilling, satisfying and more. It's also lonely and isolating. Many leaders come into the role with limited onboarding, marginal orientation, and no manual to refer to as to "how to do the work". You're charged with leading this important organization, and not sure whom you can talk to when you need a an "offline" ear, or where to turn to ask for help. Join me, Kari Anderson, as I share my take on the nonprofit sector. In my 20+ years serving as a nonprofit Executive Director, I saw just about everything, and didn't think I could be surprised. From bad board behavior to fundraising successes, well-meaning donors to entitled staff, no-show volunteers to successful community partnerships…I've got a story to tell! I love our sector – the "third" sector. I want to create a space where you feel welcome. Where you can breathe. A place where you can laugh and see yourself continuing this good work. Consider our time together a recipe comprised of the following ingredients: one part story, one part therapy, one part self-help and one part kick in the pants!

Next Audit, Zero Stress: Your 2026 Prep Checklist
Do audits send your team into a last-minute scramble? In this episode of Kari's Confessions, Kari Anderson tackles one of the most stress-inducing topics in nonprofit leadership: audits. Financial audits, compliance audits, vendor assessments, security reviews - whatever form they take, the stress rarely comes from the audit itself. It comes from uncertainty and lack of preparation. Kari shares a practical zero stress audit checklist designed to help nonprofit leaders turn chaos into control. You'll learn how to clarify audit scope, define what "pass" actually means, and create a one-page audit brief that keeps everyone aligned. She also walks through her powerful 30-15-7 day plan, the audit captain model, and how to build an evidence library that makes future audits routine instead of reactive. This episode is packed with real-world strategies for nonprofit audits, stronger internal controls, and sustainable organizational systems. Because audits aren't about perfection; they're about proving that your everyday processes are real, documented, and aligned. If you're ready to make audits boring again (in the best way), this conversation is for you. Subscribe to the Incite!
