    Absolutely agree with Nonprofit_Bookkeeper. I saw the “legally” and thought I’ll pass 🙂

    Now that that’s cleared up… I just wanted to add that they’re responsible for broad oversight and governance to ensure that the right people and systems are in place (particularly internal controls, annual audits if large enough). They Board is NOT responsible for managing the books themselves or for micro-managing finance employees. An important distinction! “Nose in, fingers out”, as they say.

On October 8, 2025, Join Us for a National Town Hall on the Financial State of the Nonprofit Sector

Nonprofit GPS is a new, action-based community designed to help nonprofits navigate today’s disrupted revenue landscape. Built in consultation with organizations nationwide, it focuses on the real financial challenges nonprofits face — business model risks, capital management, budgeting, governance, and more. Together, we’ll share practical strategies and highlight bright spots of practice that strengthen missions, even in the most disruptive times.

At this event you will hear: an analysis of the current economic landscape for nonprofits and the implications for practice; what array of critical new resources will be offered by Nonprofit GPS over the next three months and beyond; and how to become involved as a practice leader in this community.

Join a space designed to foster support, inclusivity, and respect for every voice.
