What you need to know about fundraising regulations, your go-to library for smarter governance and more
Understanding essential fundraising regulations
Navigating fundraising regulations is crucial for volunteer boards aiming to maintain trust and comply with legal standards. Understanding the essential fundraising regulations can help organizations avoid legal penalties and maintain a strong reputation. Our comprehensive guide covers key fundraising legislation, state-by-state for America as well as other regions if you operate globally, ensuring your board can keep on top of the latest requirements.
A well-structured fundraising plan is the cornerstone of success, enabling organizations to achieve their mission and make a meaningful impact. A nonprofit fundraising plan template can streamline efforts and ensure efficient use of resources. By reviewing past activities, setting SMART goals and leveraging board management software, your board can enhance its fundraising strategies and drive sustainable growth.
By following best practices, boards can meet their fundraising targets while building a foundation for long-term success and community engagement.
Your go-to library for smarter governance
Effective governance and efficient administration require seamless access to comprehensive and well-organized information, but managing digital documents doesn’t have to be a hassle. The Resource Library features on BoardEffect make it easy and secure to store and access files. Libraries can be created for the board and for working groups, and admins can control who sees, downloads or prints files, keeping sensitive information protected.
McCoy College of Business Foundation saves hours of time
The McCoy College of Business Foundation, supporting academic excellence and business leadership, faced significant challenges in managing its board documents. Issues such as last-minute changes, large file sizes and the logistical hurdles of accessing documents across different locations were common.
By implementing BoardEffect, the foundation has transformed its governance processes. They have saved time, increased efficiency as well as improving transparency, access and engagement among board members and staff.
“Using this platform has made the governance of our foundation easier, more transparent and more accessible to our members and staff. I highly recommend this product.” – Cindy Fornash, Foundation Administrator
