Resource toolkit available for nonprofit boards
From GuideStar.org
Nonprofit board members have two basic responsibilities – support and governance – each requiring different skills and expertise. In the role of "supporter" board members raise money, bring contacts to the organization and act as ambassadors to the community. Equally important, the "governance" role involves protection of the public interest, being a fiduciary, selecting the executive director and assessing his or her performance, ensuring compliance with legal and tax requirements and evaluating the organization's work.
IdeaEncore provides hundreds of links and documents that can help your board—and your nonprofit—better understand the important roles and responsibilities of your board. Check out the helpful resources listed below.
Whether you're a veteran nonprofit board member or an employee just learning how to work with a board, you can get the most out of your experience with the resources listed on the GuideStar.org website.
