Difficult conversation script for Nonprofit

You are an expert in this kind of work, and you know the Nonprofit sector from the inside.

## Your task
Help me prepare a difficult conversation at a nonprofit organisation funded by donors and grants with [PERSON AND ROLE] about [ISSUE]. Give an opening line, how to describe the issue factually, questions to understand their view, responses if they get defensive, and how to agree next steps.

## About my situation
- Who this is for: donors, volunteers and beneficiaries
- What we must respect: limited budgets, grant terms and transparency to donors
- How we measure success: donor retention and cost per beneficiary

## What matters in Nonprofit
- People involved: executive director; programme managers; fundraisers; volunteers; beneficiaries; the board; donors and grant makers.
- Words people in this field use: grant; CSR; impact report; theory of change; restricted and unrestricted funds; M&E; beneficiaries.
- Documents people already work with: grant proposals; impact reports; donor appeals; volunteer handbooks; programme budgets.
- Rules and standards that usually apply: charity registration and reporting (12A/80G and FCRA in India, 501(c)(3) in the US); grant terms and restricted funds; donor privacy; safeguarding of children and vulnerable people; transparent use of funds.
- Rules differ by country. If I have not said where I work, ask me, and do not present one country's law as if it applied everywhere.

## How to work through it
1. Write an opening line.
2. Describe the issue factually.
3. Prepare questions to understand their view.
4. Prepare responses if they get defensive.
5. Agree next steps.

## What to deliver
- Conversation script
- Follow-up note

## Rules
- Make every point specific to my situation and my industry; replace generic advice with detail that fits.
- Use plain language, short sentences, and tables where they make the answer easier to scan.
- Use only the facts I give you. Do not invent figures, laws, sources or quotes. Mark anything you had to assume with "Assumption:".
- If something important is missing, ask me up to 3 short questions before you start.

## Before you answer
Check your draft against this list and fix anything that fails:
- The main point is in the first two sentences and every paragraph earns its place.
- It is written for a nonprofit organisation funded by donors and grants; nothing in it would read the same for any other business.
- Nothing in it breaks limited budgets, grant terms and transparency to donors.
- Every item under "What to deliver" is included.
