  Your Donors Can Tell: The Right and Wrong Ways to Use AI in Fundraising Your donors can tell when an email was written by AI. Cherian Koshy, VP at Kindsight and author of Neurogiving , returns to the show to talk about the right and wrong ways nonprofits are using AI in fundraising.

A practical, honest look at donor trust, nonprofit technology, and where the line should be. Cherian also shares his new Fundraising Judgment Benchmark study.

  Sep 1, 202643 min

In this episode, Tosha and Erin discuss:— Why a "safe," generic mission statement is invisible to donors— The two biggest fundraising myths killing donor trust— Why hiding your org's struggles makes donors more hesitant, not less— How to get your whole team aligned on your mission message Connect with Erin: https://erinstraza.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/erinstraza/ Watch next: Episode 154: Why Donors Don't Give Again: https://youtu.be/uEYFL-mPXLk Episode 110: Engaging Donors Through Impact: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJKxlKAAQoM New on our website: AI Isn’t Replacing Your Nonprofit CFO.

  Episode 165: Beyond the CFO: Fractional Leadership for Nonprofits—Strengthening Strategy, Operations, and Governance

  Aug 18, 202635 min

  95% of nonprofit leaders say they are burned out. Not tired. Not stretched thin. Burned out. And one in three is actively thinking about leaving the sector for good. In this episode of A Modern Nonprofit Podcast, host Tosha Anderson sits down with nonprofit executive and governance expert Annette Eros, founder of EROSolutions, to challenge the usual advice. More rest. Better boundaries. A calendar reset. Annette makes the case that nonprofit burnout is not a wellness problem. It is a structural one.Annette has raised more than $250 million for mission driven organizations, led a $47 million capital campaign, and managed budgets exceeding $60 million. In this conversation, she and Tosha unpack: -Why the overhead myth quietly punishes the exact systems and infrastructure that prevent burnout -How "strain masked by competence" hides organizational problems until they become a crisis -What actually separates a fractional leader from a traditional consultant -Why nonprofit capacity building often means funding real help, not more training -Annette's proprietary ANCHOR Method for moving from survival mode to sustainable leadershipIf you are a nonprofit CEO, executive director, or finance leader who feels like you are wearing five jobs at once, this episode will change how you think about burnout, staffing, and what real support actually looks like.

  Episode 164: Will AI Replace Your Nonprofit CFO? Here's the Honest Answer

  Aug 4, 202621 min

  Tosha lays out rule number one for nonprofit financial health: monthly reports, on a fixed schedule, every single time. At The Charity CFO, that means a strict 15-day reporting cycle — even when data is missing from a client's team, the report still goes out, flagging what's incomplete and what it could mean financially. Tosha shares a real example: an organization spent three to seven years' worth of planned capital improvements in just two years — the kind of overspend a proper budget-to-actual analysis would have caught early, before it became a crisis. #NonprofitFinance #BudgetToActual #FinancialReporting #NonprofitLeadership #CapitalPlanning Follow Us Online Website: ⁠⁠ www.thecharitycfo.com⁠⁠ Instagram: @thecharitycfo Facebook:⁠⁠ /thecharitycfo⁠⁠ LinkedIn: ⁠⁠⁠ / the-charity-cfo⁠⁠ ⁠ TikTok: @thecharitycfoJoin our newsletter: https://go.thecharitycfo.com/l/995872/2025-02-24/6ldn1 Download The Charity CFO Financial Blueprint: https://go.thecharitycfo.com/financial-blueprint
