Ok, so nonprofit policies and governance may not be the sexiest topics on the planet, but they’re right up there with mission as the most important concern of every nonprofit board of directors.
Thanks to the launch of Independent Sector’s online Resource Center, nonprofits can now access great, new (and free!) resources on governance & ethical practice.
The resource center has more than 250 free tools, model policies and other resources gathered from organizations across the United States. All are related to the four critical areas covered by the Principles for Good Governance and Ethical Practice: legal compliance and public disclosure, effective governance, financial oversight and responsible fundraising.
Independent Sector reports: “Organizations that have used the Principles report increased capacity to achieve their missions, including improvements in governance, changes in organizational culture and practice, and increased credibility with funders, individual donors and community partners.”
It’s sure to be a “go-to” place for governance fundamentals and tools to keep you from starting from scratch when writing/updating your policies.
