Nonprofits deal with a wide range of contracts, from short-term MOUs to major mission-critical agreements.

Join us for a conversation with Thomas Frederico on building a streamlined strategy to help minimize your organization's legal risks - before and after signing a contract.
Part I of a Two-Part Series on How Nonprofits Can Set Up A Practical Contract Review & Management Strategy Your nonprofit just received a long contract from a new vendor. You're excited about this new relationship — but before you sign, you find yourself wondering: "Should I review this whole document? Can I just focus on a few key sections? How do I know which sections to focus on? Should I get a lawyer involved? Can I just have AI look it over?" Tune into this episode of the PBPA Podcast, where Thomas Federico breaks down each of these questions to help nonprofits build a practical approach to contract review.
In this episode of the PBPA Podcast, we take a closer look at the recent bankruptcy of Flipcause and what it means for the nonprofit community. I’m joined by attorney Tom Mills and nonprofit executive director Erin Campbell to unpack what happened, how nonprofits were impacted, and the lessons learned. We’ll also discuss practical steps nonprofits can take to better protect from similar risks. If your organization relies on third-party tools for fundraising, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.
Board committees are a powerful but sometimes misunderstood tool of nonprofit governance. For board members of small nonprofits, committees can drive focus, accountability, and strategic impact - when they’re set up correctly. In this episode of the PBPA Podcast, Jared Brandman with National Vision will break down what board committees do, how to structure them effectively, and how to stay on the right side of legal and fiduciary responsibilities.
For many small nonprofits, building and facilities work can be both exciting and risky, often involving tight budgets, volunteer boards, and unfamiliar contracts. In this episode of the PBPA Podcast, Mackenzie Bell with The Home Depot shares practical risk management strategies nonprofits can use both before a project begins and when problems arise.
2025 was a challenging year for many nonprofit organizations, marked by uncertainty and funding changes driven by shifts in the federal landscape. In this episode of the PBPA Podcast, we’re revisiting some of our most popular episodes from the past year—because the unique trends and concerns that emerged in 2025 will continue to impact the nonprofit sector well into 2026.
Collaborating with other nonprofits can be a powerful way to stretch limited resources and amplify impact. By pooling expertise, staff time or funding, partnerships can help organizations do more with less. But successful collaboration doesn't happen by accident. It requires clear expectations and defined roles from the start. In this episode of the PBPA Podcast, attorney Gail Gunnells joins us to discuss how nonprofits can maximize the benefits of collaboration while minimizing the legal risks.
Providers of alcohol, even as a nonprofit hosting a special event, may need to apply for an alcohol license. Before you pour at your next event, make sure you understand Georgia’s alcohol laws and what they mean for your nonprofit. In this episode of the PBPA Podcast, Rich Glaze breaks down the alcohol licensing process, caterer contract considerations, and risk management under social host liability.
Nonprofits are often drawn to the idea of being 'self-sustaining.' Alternative revenue streams—like charging fees for services or partnering with for-profits—can sound appealing as ways to diversify income. But public charities must maintain broad donor support, and too much revenue from non-donation sources could even put their tax-exempt status at risk. In this episode of the PBPA Podcast, Amy Dosik joins us to answer common questions about social enterprise and what nonprofits need to know to stay compliant when adopting new revenue streams.
