The Renegade Nonprofit
A story about building an organization that thrives
By: Tom Brush

(Launching October 15 on Amazon - but you can be the first)


This book is for you if:

  • You've ever questioned whether your fundraising event (gala, golf tournament, walk, etc) is actually worth it.
  • You've felt alone as a nonprofit leader - even when surrounded by supportive people.
  • You know the board should be helping... but you can't seem to unlock it.
  • You're ready to stop doing what you've always done and start doing what matters.

    You're not wrong. You're just ready!



What you'll get in The Renegade Nonprofit

  • A parable -style journey through the eyes of Maya, a nonprofit leader on the edge of burnout.
  • The five pillars of a thriving, people-first nonprofit (woven into a story - not a text book)
  • Bold, uncomfortable realities about time, fundraising, leadership and impact.
  • Questions that challenge you  - and your board -  to think differently

Renegade Micro-Course Bundle includes:

1️⃣ Busy ≠ Productive

You don’t need more hours — you need more truth about how you spend them. This course helps you uncover where busywork is hiding, clarify your true priorities, and design your days around what matters most. Walk away with one practical shift to free up time for impact.

2️⃣ Stop Saying What You Do—Start Sharing Why It Matters

Most nonprofit leaders talk about what they do. Few explain why it matters. This course flips your script and equips you with a simple framework to turn your elevator pitch into a mission-driven message that inspires action and attracts support.

3️⃣ Beyond the Buzz: Is Your Event Actually Worth It?

Stop measuring events by applause or gross revenue. This course introduces the “true net revenue” lens — factoring in time, costs, and hidden trade-offs — while also showing you how to track non-revenue outcomes like new donors and deeper relationships. You’ll discover how to redefine event success and make smarter decisions for your organization’s future.

Exclusive Preorder Workshop: Fix the Board Without Firing Everyone
If you’re frustrated with an unengaged or underperforming board, you’re not alone. This practical, action-focused workshop will show you how to strengthen your board’s effectiveness without the drama of replacing members. Drawing from the Standards of Excellence framework, you’ll learn common practices that actually work, which policies and procedures protect your organization, how to run more strategic meetings, and why annual recommitment and board self-evaluations are game changers. You’ll leave with clear, doable next steps to reset your board and re-energize your leadership.

✨ Exclusive for preorder supporters: you’ll get complimentary access to the entire bundle as part of your preorder bonus package.
