More Resources

Two more resources and links that I remembered I said I would share with all of our workshop participants.

The first is the the organization called BoardSource, a nonprofit dedicated to helping and improving nonprofit governance. They have a nice series of short books on governance, called the New Governance Series that touches on topics such as board organization, structure and financial management.

The other resource asked for was a sample gift acceptance policy which the new form 990 asks us for. It seems like those are pretty unique to the nonprofit but here is a list of ones that can be found on line from the Foundation Center. These could be used to help us get started crafting our own. If anyone has other sample policies they would like to share let me know and I will put them up here too.
