| Handbook for Nonprofit Managers Original Description (Group Project) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The class will work together to develop a handbook for nonprofit managers. The pamphlet will include procedures for development of the following: Incorporation, Constitution and by-laws, Mission Statement, Budget designs, Job Descriptions (paid staff and volunteers), Projects and Activities, Committees and guidelines, Grant Information and Guidelines, etc. There should also be a section on ethics for nonprofit managers. The ethics section might list some types of examples of ethical challenges or potential conflicts and also list possible solutions. |

| Each student is expected to contribute content and also to help with the planning and design of the handbook. This will be an exercise in teamwork for the group and will hopefully provide a reference for everyone to use later. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Topics: Incorporation Procedures; Constitution, By-laws; Mission Statement and Budget Designs; Job Descriptions (paid and volunteers); Projects and Activities; Committee/subcommittee guidelines; Grant Information and guidelines; Ethics for nonprofit managers. |
