What Is Board & Governance Support?
Strong governance is the backbone of a healthy nonprofit. It ensures that your organization is accountable, transparent and compliant with state and federal laws.
Our board and governance support service gives your board the tools, templates and guidance it needs to fulfill its fiduciary duties, conduct effective meetings and maintain proper records all without drowning in legalese.
Legal Compliance
State and IRS rules require nonprofits to document board actions, adopt key policies, and keep certain records permanently. Poor governance can expose you to fines, lawsuits, or loss of tax‑exempt status.
Accountability & Transparency
Donors, grantors, and regulators look for evidence of active, informed oversight. Clear policies and minutes show you’re managing resources responsibly.
Effective Decision‑Making
Structured meetings, consistent agendas, and well‑trained board members lead to better decisions and fewer conflicts.
Recruitment & Retention
Prospective board members are more likely to join, and stay with, an organization that provides orientation, clear expectations, and ongoing support.
