Organisations

How community organisations are governed: boards, records, volunteers and the duties that come with incorporation.

• What a nonprofit board actually has to write down

  Minutes are the only durable record of how a decision was reached. Most small boards keep them badly, and only discover it when somebody asks.

• Safeguarding for organisations that never thought they needed it

  A food pantry and a youth sports club have the same exposure as a large charity, and usually a fraction of the process.
