If you’ve found your way here, chances are we’re thinking about similar issues.

I’m always open to thoughtful conversations around nonprofit compliance, governance challenges, IRS reporting, booster clubs, and the very real, very practical problems faced by volunteer-run and small organizations. Whether you have a question, want to flag an issue you’re seeing in the field, or are interested in collaborating on research, writing, or projects, I’d be glad to hear from you.

This site is built on the idea that nonprofit compliance works best when people actually talk to one another. If something here sparked a question, clarified an issue, or raised an eyebrow, that’s usually a good reason to reach out.

Please note that messages sent through this page are for general discussion only and do not create an attorney-client or accountant-client relationship. I can’t provide individualized legal or accounting advice, but I’m happy to point people toward resources, discuss trends, or explore ideas worth unpacking further. 

My primary resource for common questions is the page dedicated to IRS and state publications. If the materials listed there don’t answer your question, it doesn’t mean the resource doesn’t exist. It simply means I haven’t gotten to it yet. That page is a living collection and will continue to grow as I work through additional guidance and materials.
