- These free not-for-profit policy templates offer a foundation that you can customise to fit the specific governance needs of your organisation.
- You can't (or shouldn't) rely on these sample policies and procedures alone. Use these sample policies and procedures as a starting point to develop custom policies tailored to the unique requirements of your community organisation. We recommend adopting policies at a board level, while procedures are developed/signed off by the organisation's CEO.
- Each not-for-profit policy template includes adaptable standards and implementation guidelines, covering both board-level policies and CEO-approved procedures.
- We use the term 'board' to cover boards, committees of management, or any body that has final authority in your organisation. And, the term 'CEO' extends to executive directors, or your chief administrator.
- Adaptable for not-for-profits, these policy templates guide you in creating governance standards that align with your board’s goals and regulatory requirements.
