I’ve rarely felt more seen than I have reading this piece. I don’t do direct service work; but as a Curator of a historic site of injustice, and a person in the US living through fascism, history work is so hard right now. Naming it as grief helps. #nonprofit

“On a quiet day”: What cumulative grief is trying to tell our sector

Cumulative grief does not resolve through individual effort. It becomes more bearable in community. When we can name it together, sit with it together, and refuse to let it harden into cynicism together.

Understanding Nonprofit Fraud: Investigations, Oversight, and Donor Risks

Recent high-profile prosecutions of nonprofit organizations have brought nonprofit fraud into the spotlight. In Minnesota, federal authorities prosecuted a major COVID-19 pandemic-related fraud case, where several nonprofits allegedly misappropriated approximately $250 million from a federally funded child nutrition program. Defendants faked meal counts and reimbursement claims, spending the money on luxury items. Similarly, the Department of Justice recently indicted the Southern Poverty Law Center for alleged fraud, highlighting increased federal scrutiny of nonprofits, particularly those engaging in politically sensitive activities. Nonprofit fraud, defined as misuse of assets, remains difficult to quantify compared to corporate or government fraud. The Association of Certified Fraud Examiners estimates nonprofits lose around 5% of annual revenue to fraud, with an average incident costing about $76,000. Nonprofits are less likely than corporations to provide fraud training, leaving staff less prepared to detect and respond to misconduct. Fraud can be internal, involving misappropriation of a nonprofit's funds, or external, such as fake charities that solicit donations without performing charitable work. Federal and state authorities share oversight responsibilities, but state enforcement is often limited due to small staff sizes. Donor awareness initiatives sometimes unintentionally discourage nonprofits from investing in fraud prevention. Transparency, reporting, and corrective actions are essential to maintain trust and reduce fraud risks. Increased monitoring can help, but nonprofits must balance oversight with fulfilling their charitable missions.
