Dear Surviving Nonprofit Executive
1
You wanted to make a difference.
2
You’re committed to your mission.
3
Proud programs, budget, and support.
4
Things aren’t going well, honestly.
5
You’re firefighting, not advancing mission.
6
Delegating poorly; volunteers have vanished.
You’re feeling micromanaged by your board, and have no fund development plan. (What is a fund development plan?)
A handle on your time. A calendar that you manage, not the other way around.
A motivated and dedicated staff (paid or volunteer) who want to come to work, are excited about their roles and are team players.
A supportive board who understand their legal and financial skin in the game.
A clear and achievable fundraising plan. What are we really doing to diversify our revenue streams and ensure we have funds to fulfill our mission on an annual basis!?
A polished public relations strategy – how to tell the best story to the right audience.
A clear and achievable fundraising plan. What are we really doing to diversify our revenue streams and ensure we have funds to fulfill our mission on an annual basis!?!?!
An (eventual) exit. Yes, you’ll leave, as will staff, volunteers and the board. You need a roadmap to ensure the business continues without you.
A polished public relations strategy – how to tell the best story to the right audience.
As a Nonprofit Executive All You Really Want Is…
Let’s set you up with the Executive Director’s Success Manual
I launched Incite! Consulting to provide organizational leadership, fundraising strategies and systems overhaul to small and medium size nonprofits. My coaching with nonprofit leaders – board, executive and staff – uses best practices, industry research, real-time stories from the field and the school of hard knocks.
In my consulting practice, to date I’ve provided board education and retreat facilitation, executive director coaching, staff trainings, strategic, fund development and succession planning services to over 60 nonprofit groups.
Why does that matter to you?
Prior to launching my consulting firm, I spent 25+ years in key leadership roles with seven nonprofit organizations. As the Executive Director or lead development staff, I focused on leadership, organizational change and fund development for Lutheran Social Services, the Muscular Dystrophy Association, American Heart Association, The Logan School for Creative Learning, Real Colorado Soccer, the Vail Valley Foundation and Central Washington University.
The bottom line: I’ve been you – and I’m good at it!
I made many mistakes—staff issues, volunteer conflicts, board problems, crisis fundraising, and poor PR—believing I could handle it all alone. Incite! Consulting and “Mission-Driven Leadership Mastery – Moving from Surviving to Thriving” are here to help.

As a new nonprofit director, I was unsure of my role. Kari helped me realize that I already had the intuition and passion needed for the job. She provided vital support, resources, and leadership coaching, making complex processes easier to understand. Thanks to her guidance, our organization built a solid foundation and is now thriving. I couldn’t have done it without her expertise. Thank you, Kari!
