Scandals in the nonprofit sector make people worry that charitable donations will not be put to good use, and tarnish the image of the entire nonprofit community. More than ever, nonprofits must operate with integrity and must instill confidence in clients, funders, volunteers, watchdog groups and others. The issue of public trust in nonprofit organizations is crucial for our survival and sustainability. This seminar will discuss best practices in the areas of transparency, accountability and ethics, and how we can best operate our nonprofits in a trustworthy way.
Topics will include:
Applicable state and federal rules that promote accountability, including disclosure and reporting obligations
Organizational policies, such as conflict of interests and whistleblower policies, that foster accountability
The role of the board
Other recommended practices to foster an environment of integrity
Nonprofit oversight and watch-dog agencies
