Nonprofit organizations continue to be one of society’s most vital resources in addressing immediate needs and working towards long-term solutions. They provide essential services that ensure basic human dignity, such as food banks, shelter, and outreach programs, health and educational services, and meeting community needs in times of crises. Nonprofits are also incubators of social enterprise, fostering workforce development, research, and innovation.
Today, nonprofit organizations face increased pressure. From rising program costs and greater demand for services to uncertainty of revenue resulting from federal funding cuts, the fiduciary and strategic role of a nonprofit board is mission-critical for the sustainability and success of an organization.
