Description
Ten Critical Policies for Nonprofits (2026) | Originally presented on February 11, 2026.
Most nonprofits have policies on conflicts of interest, whistleblowers and document destruction and retention because the IRS asks if you have them on your Form 990 tax information return. We will discuss in detail the critical issues in these policies so that you can see if your policies measure up well for your needs.
We will also go deep on some additional policies of real importance in the current environment. We will take a deep dive into these policies, discussing the key components of each policy and reviewing various sample policies to help understand how you can not only adopt the policy - but live the policy! Enacting and following these important policies that protect nonprofit organizations and the people who work for them are essential to promote trust and accountability in the sector. We will highlight policies promulgated and copyrighted by PANO and the Standards for Excellence Institute, the national program for ethics and accountability in the nonprofit sector. Having good policies is essential to good governance. Following your policies is even more essential. Having good policies that aren’t followed is a real danger in litigation.
