I’m back! Nonprofit OnlyFans, a book deal, and other news!

Hi everyone, I’m back from my break. I’ve missed you all, and I’ve missed ranting and shaking my fist about various things each week. Also, I need to get back to the grind, because my plan of starting a Nonprofit OnlyFans during the summer did not work out. Apparently, only three people wanted to pay $6 a month to hear me read grant award letters while dressed in button-down shirts from Ross Dress for Less: “‘Dear Unicycles for Tots, congratulations, the review panel has decided to provide your organization a three-year unrestricted grant of $50,000 per year. Thank you for your work.’ Mmm… yeah… unrestricted …oooh… multi-year…”

During the break, I had time to reflect, usually in my hammock while eating handfuls of Kirkland Signature semi-sweet chocolate chips, and I want to make some changes in my work and my personal life. Here are a few things that might affect this site:

I’m writing a book like a real boy! I signed a contract with Wiley to write a book. It will be about reimagining nonprofit and philanthropy and will synthesize all my ramblings into a cohesive book with chapters on boards, fundraising, capacity building, advocacy, etc. The manuscript is due in March, so I’ll be writing a lot. Hopefully, if I can get focused and not distracted all the time by parenting, TV shows, and general brain activities. The book is optimistically aimed to be released November 2025, in time for National Philanthropy Day. Please send thoughts and prayers, connections to people doing cool and revolutionary things whom I can interview, advice, and vegan chocolate.  

This blog will probably feature more videos. Because I’ll be doing so much writing for the book, I will likely do less writing for this blog because that many hours of writing each week might turn me all “The Shining.” The blog will still publish weekly on Tuesdays, but it may not always be a written essay. It could be one or more short videos, cross-posted on Instagram and Facebook. Expect more reels ranging from the serious to the ridiculous. I might throw in a spoken-word poem on board governance or a sock puppet show on general liability insurance. There will be more nonprofit ASMR, nonprofit fashion advice, and dating tips for nonprofit professionals. Quality will be inconsistent but most likely low, so apologies in advance.

About the author

Vu Le

Vu Le (“voo lay”) is a writer, speaker, vegan, Pisces, and the former Executive Director of RVC, a nonprofit in Seattle that promotes social justice by developing leaders of color, strengthening organizations led by communities of color, and fostering collaboration between diverse communities.

Vu’s passion to make the world better, combined with a low score on the Law School Admission Test, drove him into the field of nonprofit work, where he learned that we should take the work seriously, but not ourselves. There’s tons of humor in the nonprofit world, and someone needs to document it. He is going to do that, with the hope that one day, a TV producer will see how cool and interesting our field is and make a show about nonprofit work, featuring attractive actors attending strategic planning meetings and filing 990 tax forms.

Known for his no-BS approach, irreverent sense of humor, and love of unicorns, Vu has been featured in dozens, if not hundreds, of his own blog posts at NonprofitAF.com.
