The Not-for-Profit Board Member Handbook

An essential how-to guide for the boards of not-for-profit organizations and the executives who serve them.

Grant Thornton’s handbook  is a guide to success as a not-for-profit board member, a position that brings with it a sense of responsibility, tradition and most importantly an opportunity to make a strong impact for a special purpose.

The accounting and audit firm outlines the roles and responsibilities of being a member of a volunteer organization. This handbook, one in a series, includes both advice on recruiting new board members and the role of the board. It covers topics such as liability and accountability, financial stewardship and need-to-know tax information and regulations.

The handbook also offers a step-by-step look at operating procedures for a not-for-profit board on subjects such as information flow, proper meeting prep and board selection. Acting as a unit, each board member fulfills several functions, and demands on the board members of not-for-profit organizations are mounting.

Grant Thornton’s handbook  is designed to help board members understand these demands and the ways to meet them.
