⚖️ Part 2 – Good Governance & Legal Compliance: Building a Strong Board and Staying on Track

The Nonprofit Blueprint series walks founders through the four foundational phases every nonprofit encounters in its first few years, typically before reaching the $500,000 milestone. Part 2, Good Governance & Legal Compliance, focuses on building trust and accountability through strong leadership and compliance. You’ll learn how to form and manage an effective board, understand fiduciary duties, and stay compliant with IRS and state regulations. Whether you already have a board in place or are preparing to build one, this session will strengthen your organization’s foundation — or join the full 4-part series to ensure your nonprofit grows with purpose, structure, and integrity.

Compliance made practical: Breaks down IRS, state, and policy requirements into simple, doable systems any nonprofit can implement.

Board-building with intention: Learn how to recruit, train, and manage a board that truly adds value — not just fills seats.

Risk management through empowerment: Understand compliance as a strength that protects your mission and credibility, not a bureaucratic burden.
