The Nonprofitable Truth

Welcome to The Nonprofitable Truth — a no-fluff, heart-forward newsletter for changemakers, nonprofit pros, and purpose-driven leaders who are tired of pretending it’s all working when it isn’t.

What is a nonprofitable truth anyway?

A nonprofitable truth is the unpolished, often unspoken reality of nonprofit work—the pressures, decisions, and behind-the-scenes challenges that never make it into glossy reports or highlight reels.

It’s the candid, sometimes inconvenient insight into what it actually takes to lead, fund, and sustain a mission-driven organization. It’s not negativity; it’s honesty—and honesty is where real capacity-building begins.

Got something to say?
If you’re a leader deep in the work — figuring it out, making mistakes, and building social impact — Nicole wants to hear from you. Pitch yourself as a guest on the podcast. Fill out the Podcast Guest Interest Form here.

Because changing the world is messy — and your story can help someone else keep going.
