Welcome to the Nonprofit Diaries!

Hello everyone and welcome to The Nonprofit Diaries, a podcast that shares the real stories from the ground level of nonprofit work—you know, the ones that don't make the newsletter.

I'm your host, Kimberly Bottom, and I've worked directly with nonprofit professionals for more than 10 years, helping them tell the stories that advance their missions. But during those interactions, I have heard and seen some wild things happening behind the scenes, and that's how I know there are incredible stories to be told out there.

So, I'm bringing them out of the group chat, happy hour, and therapy sessions straight to you. My hope and desire for this podcast is to make nonprofit professionals from every department, background, and mission feel connected through these short stories.

This is not another best practices podcast. We're not here to teach; we're here to relate. Whether you're sipping your coffee or tea in the morning, taking a brain break in the afternoon, or maybe you just need a good laugh at the end of a long day, I hope listening in will give you a sense of, "Oh, thank goodness I'm not the only one."
