The Deep End
A Nonprofit Leader’s Journey from Financial Chaos to Clarity by Kathy Arney and Gordon Holley
Most nonprofit leaders don’t step into the role because they love budgets, cash flow, or board meetings. They step in because they care deeply about the mission. But sooner or later, many find themselves facing hard questions they were never trained to answer: Can we make payroll? How do we cover real costs? How do we talk about money without fear or apology? Are we asking for what we really need? The Deep End is a practical, encouraging guide for nonprofit leaders who feel called to serve but unprepared for the financial side of leadership. Through the story of Alex, a newly appointed executive director at an animal shelter, Kathy Arney and Gordon Holley explore the journey from financial chaos to clarity, showing how nonprofit leaders can move from scarcity thinking and quiet panic toward confidence, honesty, and sustainable strategy. Warm, honest, and grounded in the real pressures of nonprofit work, The Deep End shows that money is not separate from a nonprofit organization’s mission. It’s part of how that mission survives, grows, and endures. This is a book for nonprofit leaders who want to stop treading water and start leading with courage and clarity. The Deep End is the first book in the Finance and Fundraising Capacity Series.

The story of Spirits is about finding solace and truth, embracing your responsibilities as a friend when ‘loss’ has entered, and kindness that can be found in all of us at the most unexpected times.
