Summary
Fractional employees are quickly becoming a practical solution for nonprofits facing talent shortages and budget constraints, but they’re not a simple fix. This episode explores how fractional roles can unlock high-level expertise without full-time costs, while also exposing the hidden risks to continuity, culture, and donor relationships. The key insight: success isn’t about whether you use fractional talent, but how intentionally you design and manage it.
