Foundations face a growing need to ensure their community is engaged in their mission statement. For organizations committed to transparency, their IPS must reflect a more complex fund stewardship. Bring your governance to the next level an action plan to:
- Develop a bottom-up relationship with the community you serve
- Include the needs of your donors and community in your fund
- stewardship discussions
- Clarify your IPS to ensure it remains relevant to your community
Improve your fund stewardship governance to include greater transparency and community engagement.
