In this episode of Charity Therapy, Meghan and I dive into the often-misunderstood world of conflicts of interest in nonprofits. What is a conflict, really? Is it a terrible, horrible, egregious situation to be avoided at all costs?! Hint: no! Not all conflicts are evil, and not everything people call a conflict of interest actually is one.. In this episode, you'll learn what to do (and what not to do) when a conflict of interest comes up in your nonprofit work.
We’ll also tackle a listener’s question about a board member's support of another organization - is that a conflict? Plus, what happens when board members and staff members are all the same people?
Don't miss this episode that will help you better understand and manage nonprofit conflicts of interest! Whether you're a seasoned nonprofit pro or just dipping your toes into the world of charitable organizations, we’re here to help guide you through these tricky waters with empathy, humor, and practical advice.
