Board Organizational Guidelines

Project details

What we need
  • Review of current board policies and procedures
  • Document outlining best practices for meetings and communication, including cadence and tool recommendations
Additional details

Completion of a high level board audit to identify gaps in our current roles and procedures. Development of onboarding procedures and ongoing training.

What we have in place
  • We currently have organizational bylaws, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have a governance review committee, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $4,295 , allowing us to continue to expand our organization and grow our impact.

Lori's Hands has received funding to expand our work locally in Delaware and through the creation of new chapters, first in Baltimore, MD and next in Ypsilanti, MI. This project will help us ensure that we have the necessary oversight of our operations to effectively and successfully expand our impact.

Testimonials

Read the Impact Story
Jon was extremely thorough and insightful. He took a lot of time with us to walk through many aspects of our nonprofit's governance. With his years of experience, he brought to our attention topics and ideas we hadn't thought of previously and gave us great guidance. He was a pleasure to work with!
