Policy reminder for nonprofit leaders:
Not every policy needs to be created or approved the same way.
๐ A good rule of thumb:
Governance policies are developed and approved by the board of directors. Operational policies that guide programs and day-to-day procedures are usually developed by executive leadership.
The board should still stay informed, but strong nonprofit governance means knowing where board oversight ends and operational leadership begins.
Helping Nonprofits Thrive helps nonprofit organizations strengthen policy management, board governance, and organizational systems that support long-term success.
