What is a nonprofit board?

Last Update hace 3 años

A nonprofit board (board of directors or board of trustees) is a group of people who have legal responsibility for the oversight of the nonprofit corporation.


No one can own a nonprofit, and so the board acts in a similar role, ensuring that the organization has the needed resources, safeguarding its interests, and securing its future.


State laws describe the eligibility requirements for board members and the minimum number that each nonprofit must have.
