In this episode of The Small Nonprofit Podcast, Maria breaks down the nine biggest red flags to watch for during your nonprofit job search.

While the sector is full of impactful orgs, not all are well-managed or even stable. Maria shares tips on spotting warning signs—like financial instability, poor leadership, and lack of work-life balance—before you accept an offer. If you're looking for a nonprofit job or just want to be more intentional about your next career move, this episode is a must-listen!

Nonprofit Job Search -- The Highlights:

  • Expanding programming without secured funding
  • Ignoring past strategic failures
  • Recurring financial instability
  • Board members lacking governance knowledge
  • Egocentric leadership and lack of transparency
  • Poor work-life balance

Actionable tips:

Do your research: look at the organization’s financials, Glassdoor reviews, and strategic plans.

Ask the right questions: use this episode’s prompts to dig deeper in interviews.

Trust your gut: if something feels off, take it seriously.

Talk to current and former employees: get real insights into the workplace culture.

Prioritize your needs: define your non-negotiables and set boundaries before accepting an offer.
