Protecting Your Nonprofit from Scams, Fraud & Imposters

July 27, 2022

Nonprofits of all types are susceptible to fraud, especially those with limited resources or lacking internal controls. It could come as an imposter creating a copycat webpage and taking donations intended for your 501(c)(3), or an email phishing scam to an unsuspecting employee. Is your nonprofit taking the appropriate steps to protect itself from potential fraud? In this episode of the PBPA podcast, Noula Zaharis, Director of the Securities and Charities Division at the Georgia Secretary of State, and Anna Burns, Southeast Regional Director of the Federal Trade Commission, share real-life examples of fraud they have investigated and tips on how to avoid becoming a victim.
