White Papers

  • In the wake of scandals related to the misappropriation of funds and other dubious activities in the nonprofit world, the IRS issued a revised Form 990. The changes were designed to increase nonprofits’ transparency and accountability by requiring the disclosure of more information related to donations, compensation, and board governance. The impact for nonprofit organizations may be: increased cost and effort at audit time.

  • Ever since BoardSource® first published the Governance Series almost 20 years ago, nonprofit organizations have turned to these handbooks for practical guidance on integrating best practices into their boardrooms.

  • The “Green Movement” is not a new concept, but never has it garnered so much attention as in the past few years. Research shows that every day, we emit an unprecedented amount of carbon dioxide with the cars we drive and the waste we accumulate, negatively affecting our already unsustainable ecosystem. Today, organizations large and small are being environment-conscious by “greening” every aspect of their operations, including their board’s work.

  • At its core, the concept of e-governance is about good governance. With the widespread adoption of e-governance in the nonprofit sector, there is a paradigm shift as boards move from passive consumers of historical data to active participants in knowledge creation and management. With e-governance, nonprofits have the potential to cultivate the ideal board.
