Project details

What we need
  • Assessment of existing board procedure, policy, set of guidelines, or system
  • Creation of one document outlining one procedure, policy, operations, or set of guidelines, for example: bylaws, board meeting procedure, succession planning guidelines, committee policies, board member orientation handbook, etc.
Additional details

We are in the process of adding critical board members to the team and are in need of our bylaws created/recreated.

What we have in place
  • We have our formation documents, EEO statement, and current bylaws document that can help get started.
How this will help
This project will save us $10,298 , allowing us to redirect those costs that would've been spent directly back into the community by increasing the availability and accessibility of our community mental health programs.

We have experienced great growth since inception in 2016. Over the past 12 - 18months, we have more than doubled our budget and have hired staff. In order to achieve our programmatic and strategic goals, we are adding to our Board of Directors. A complete bylaws document will help meet this need.
