BSA-Private-Foundations

Private Foundation Board Self-Assessment

Although the principles of good governance for foundations are similar in many ways to those for public charities, there are significant differences. The BoardSource board self-assessment tool for private, supporting/operating, and family foundations is designed to meet the unique needs of a foundation board and assists in strengthening the board’s governance practices and its ability to respond appropriately as opportunities and challenges arise.

Association Board Self-Assessment

BoardSource — the leader in nonprofit governance —has collaborated with ASAE: The Center for Association Leadership — the premier voice of the association world — to create a board self-assessment for associations that is geared to the unique needs of the association sector. Both ASAE and BoardSource agree that assessing performance is a core responsibility of each and every association board. Adopting assessment as part of your board’s regular practices ensures that your association is well-run, sustainable, meeting member needs, and true to mission.
