Non-Profit Best Practices
Maintaining good internal controls and adhering to industry best practices is important to protect your organization’s finances, reputation, and legal standing. If you are just getting started thinking about non-profit best practices or aiming to build upon your knowledge, a few examples of questions to ask about your organization are as follows:
-
Does your organization have at least three board members?
-
Does your non-profit have its own separate bank account set up in the name of the non-profit?
-
Is your non-profit familiar with the professional standards, such as the Association of Fundraising Professionals’ Code of Ethical Principles and Standards of Professional Practices?
-
Does your organization hold financial management training for key staff and new board members?
These are a few examples of best practices and education opportunities to increase awareness and should not be construed as legal advice.
