There’s something special about working alongside organizations whose missions leave a lasting impact.

For Lillian Sun, Controller at Carey & Co, Clarke Schools for Hearing and Speech is one of those organizations. Their work helps children who are deaf or hard of hearing develop the listening and spoken language skills they need to learn, connect, and build their futures.

We’re proud to support organizations doing work that matters — and grateful to have team members who care deeply about the missions behind the numbers.

When nonprofits have to wait months to be reimbursed for work they’ve already completed, funding resiliency becomes a cash flow issue, too.

That’s just one of the topics Christy Fitzpatrick and William Welch of WW Consulting For Good dig into in the latest conversation in our Funding Resiliency series.

William brings a California perspective to the discussion, sharing what he’s seeing nonprofits navigate right now — from shifting funding and government contracts to finding new ways to strengthen organizational resiliency.

Leadership transitions are often talked about as operational events. But in reality, they’re people events first.

In the latest episode of Carey & Co’s Non-Podcast, Podcast, Christy Fitzpatrick sits down with Abby Rosenswaike to discuss what really happens during the first 48 hours and final 60 days of a leadership transition — and why organizations that plan intentionally tend to stabilize faster.

The conversation explores:

- succession planning beyond the org chart

- managing uncertainty and staff trust

- knowledge transfer and “where are the keys?” moments

- the role HR plays in preventing avoidable chaos

- how new leaders can build connection early through culture and communication

One theme came through clearly: Leadership transitions don’t just test systems — they test relationships.

Tune in to hear practical insights for nonprofit leaders navigating change, growth, and continuity.

Leadership transitions are rarely as simple as replacing a role.

In the latest episode of Growth is a People Story, Christy Fitzpatrick and Kelly E. Grattan, PhD, MBA, CAP®, CFRE from Schultz & Williams, a Carey & Co company, discuss the realities organizations face during periods of transition — especially the uncertainty that exists in the “in-between.”

From longer hiring timelines and interim leadership support to communication challenges and organizational stability, the conversation explores how leadership vacancies can create ripple effects far beyond a single role.

One theme came through clearly: The longer organizations wait to address transition planning, the harder recovery can become.

Big news for our team. 🎉

We’re excited to welcome Charlie Lippman as CFO at Carey & Co. 👏

Charlie brings the kind of leadership that strengthens how organizations run behind the scenes—where financial clarity and operational discipline make everything else possible.

At Carey & Co, that matters. Our work depends on building strong foundations for the organizations we support, and Charlie’s perspective will play a key role in continuing to do that well.

Just as important, he shares a clear commitment to mission-driven work—something that shows up both professionally and in the communities he supports.

We’re looking forward to what’s ahead. 🚀

Welcome to the team, Charlie. 🤝

What does grants management actually mean?

In this conversation, Stacey Lea Flanagan and Christy Fitzpatrick get into what grant management actually looks like behind the scenes—from budgeting and staffing to documentation, audits, and proving outcomes.

A few moments that stood out:

• You don’t just have to do the work—you have to prove you did it (with documentation to back it up)

• Government grants shift the dynamic—you’re not a partner, you’re a vendor

• Budget changes aren’t simple… even small shifts can take time and approval

• And if you don’t plan for the time it takes to manage a grant, it ends up costing your team elsewhere

There’s also a strong reminder throughout: Be realistic about what your team can actually deliver. Because overselling outcomes—or underestimating the workload—can create bigger issues down the line.
