Understanding your NFPs Constitution & Rules

A not-for-profit constitution is fundamental to your organisation’s governance. Its purposes and objectives form the legal base for your organisation to deliver on its ethos, culture, vision, mission and values.

In this webinar, we will explore:

• “why” you need a constitution and “what” it must contain (eg to get tax concessions);

• how the constitution links to your organisation’s strategy, plans, delegations and policies;

• how the constitution separates the roles of members, boards and management;

• good governance tips and traps
