The Effective Nonprofit Practices: Increasing Funders' Confidence in your Organization series is a strategic opportunity for nonprofit leaders to gain an increased awareness of critical principles that funders look for in effective governance and ethical practices of nonprofit organizations.
The 3-part Certificate Series* will cover the 33 principles discussed in the Independent Sector's Panel on the Nonprofit Sector's "Principles of Good Governance and Ethical Practice".
Some of the main objectives covered include:
- Essential legal compliance issues related to laws and regulations, code of ethics, conflicts of interest and protection of assets.
- Essential Board responsibilities that include fiscal and governance policies, key financial transactions, annual budget and reviewing and approving mission and strategic direction.
- Importance of Board independence and associated legal and compliance issues.
- Risks of "interlocking financial relationships" among Board members and how these risks impact the organization.

*This is intended to be a certificate series awarded to your organization and therefore it is necessary for a representative from your organization to complete all 3 modules to receive your Certificate. However, the certificate is issued to the organization, not the individual, therefore attendance will be tracked by the organization and the same person is not required to attend all three modules.
