GOVERNANCE
Publication: Great Foundations

Great Foundations – a 360° guide to building effective and resilient not for profit organisations (ACER Press, 2010) provides practical information and advice in relation to governance, management, compliance and supporting change and innovation. Great Foundations aims to save new CEOs and Board Members from reinventing the wheel or duplicating effort – so that you can spend time and effort on the issue that has inspired you in the first place. It is easy to read and could be read chapter by chapter over a coffee. There are checklists at the end of each chapter. 

It is a time of change for the not for profit sector, including planning for an Australian Charities and Not for Profit Commission (commencing 1 July 2012). The definition of charity is also being reviewed.

Whether you want to change government funding priorities, raise funds, improve the way your Board operates, think about compliance or focus your not-for-profit’s work more strategically, Great Foundations should provide you with some useful ideas or information.
