We recently wrapped up our Think N’ Drink Series on Nonprofit Leadership and Board Service. The Boettcher Foundation and its Alumni Board have goal to help Boettcher Alumni give back to their communities by servicing on nonprofit boards. This educational series helped kick off that effort, and we are excited to help connect nonprofits in search of board members with Boettcher Alumni looking to give back to their communities.
If you are open to serving on nonprofit boards and would like the Boettcher Foundation to help, please log in to your 360Alumni profiles and click YES to the question that asks: “Are you interested in serving on nonprofit boards?”
If you would like to view the videos of the sessions, they are available here:
Introduction to the Nonprofit Sector including: Nonprofit corporations vs. Tax-exempt entities; The different types of 501(c) organizations, including 501(c)(3)-private foundations and 501(c)(3)-public charities; and Annual reporting and the IRS.
Boards and Executive Leadership including Legal requirements in how nonprofits are governed; The duties of care, loyalty, and obedience; and What questions you need to ask when considering board service.
Financial Management including: What to look for in balance sheets and income statements (and how they are linked); Unrestricted and restricted funds; Importance of effective internal controls.
