Every week, somewhere in the world, a small nonprofit discovers that someone it trusted has been stealing from it. Not a stranger — someone known. Someone liked. The free chapters open with the story of one Thursday-morning phone call, and then answer the question every trustee should be asking: why are organisations like ours so vulnerable — and what actually works?
What You'll Read
- The Introduction — why good intentions and mutual trust have never been enough, and the five TRUST controls that change the odds.
- Chapter 1: Why Small Nonprofits Are Vulnerable — the Thursday-morning call at Tablestone Community Services, and the patterns behind almost every small-charity fraud.
