Non-Profit Toolkit

Hi there, Kari here -reaching out with a lifeline for all busy nonprofit leaders. Most days, I receive at least one email from a nonprofit organization inquiring as to a best practice sample or template to make their workday more efficient, and their work more fun! l’ve been keeping a running list of the most requested documents from nonprofit Execs and nonprofit boards and created two toolkits for your use.

Each toolkit provides samples and templates that are current, working documents for your use. These documents align with current nonprofit best practices (and the law, when applicable). Feel free to use as is, or (better yet), upload into Adobe, add your logo and edit to suit your organization’s needs.

Testimonials

I met Kari Anderson when Angel Wings Network won consulting time with her. The time Kari spent with Angel Wings gave a struggling little nonprofit a good basic organizational outline to follow as we dealt with a lot of struggles for the next 3-4 years. I was gone for about 9 months in 2017 taking care of my husband who died 12/22/2017. During the time I was gone the founder/director left the organization to pursue other ventures. The board held things together but raised little of the needed money to hold the organization together. I returned in March of 2018, Even though I had spent many years on nonprofit boards I was not sure the board and I could meet the challenge ahead of us. I came back as director armed with a lot of love for what we do to help cancer patients and a lot of determination. I also had that basic framework Kari had given us. In eight months we raised $44000. Our 2023 budget is $120000. 2022 was the first year we built a budge of $1000,00 and raised it. Thank you, Kari, for the time you spent with Angel Wings Network, Inc.

Mabel Dobbs

Executive Director, Angel Wings Network (Weiser, ID)

Working with Kari for our strategic planning was an absolute delight! Kari was actively engaged throughout the process and provided tremendous guidance as our board planned our next three years. She listened, asked the right questions, and brought much-needed insight to the discussions. Our board approved the plan in October and we have a solid path to guide us in the years ahead!

David Pettyjohn

Executive Director, Idaho Humanities Council (Boise, ID)

It is a pleasure working with Kari. Her knowledge of non-profit management and boards have proven to create immediate success within our organization. She is positive, solution oriented and able to recognize both small and large changes that will take our non-profit to the next level. I would recommend Incite Consulting and Kari for any of your organization’s needs.

Dawn Newburg

Executive Director, The ALS Association Nevada Chapter (Las Vegas, NV)

Kari is incredibly generous and giving of her time and talent. She worked with our board to create a strategic plan and then outside the bounds of that contract, continued to support me as an early career executive director in navigating numerous nuanced challenges. She cared about me as a professional and was a thoughtful mentor throughout.

Ethan Lobdell

Executive Director, Jackson Hole Children’s Museum (Jackson, WY)

Kari is one of the most knowledgeable people I know when it comes to how a nonprofit should run. She always seems to have the perfect blend of being personable and disarming while really digging into the heart of the matter, and I’ve seen her do tremendous good for a number of organizations.
