This Guidebook is an essential reference for directors of nonprofit corporations across the United States, from small, community-based organizations to large national and international nonprofits. It explains the core legal principles governing nonprofit corporations and translates them into clear, practical guidance, complete with helpful checklists and real-world recommendations. Written by leading nonprofit law practitioners, the Guidebook equips directors with the knowledge they need to understand their responsibilities, perform their duties effectively, and appreciate their role within the organizations they serve.

Now in its fourth edition, the Guidebook reflects the legal developments and real-world challenges facing nonprofit directors today. While the fundamental issues remain consistent, this updated edition addresses how those issues play out in the current regulatory and governance environment.
