Nonprofit Leadership

Tools and Support for Nonprofit Leaders

Preparing a board update, supporting staff, and evaluating an executive director all take more than a blank form. You need clear expectations, useful questions, and a record of what was agreed.

These editable tools help executive directors and board chairs prepare for those conversations and follow through afterward. Choose the offer that addresses the work in front of you.

Staff meetings and board communication

Spend less time reconstructing what everyone agreed to.

Nonprofit Executive Systems Toolkit

When assignments and decisions are spread across emails and meeting notes, preparing the next conversation means searching for the last one. This toolkit gives you a place to clarify responsibilities, record next steps, and prepare useful staff and board conversations.

Editable agendas, a decision making guide, an assignment tracker, and a board update template come with instructions and completed examples. Start with the tool you need for your next meeting.

Executive director evaluation

Prepare a fair review without reconstructing an entire year.

Executive Director Evaluation and Development Kit

Board members see different parts of an executive director's work. Agreeing on expectations and gathering evidence throughout the year gives the review a shared basis, so the conversation can address both accomplishments and areas for development.

A yearly evaluation calendar, rubric, reflection and evidence templates, feedback forms, and meeting agendas help you prepare. Sample review conversations show how to discuss the evidence and agree on useful next steps.
