Boards of Directors
“In contrast, nonprofit organizations do not have shareholders but instead have stakeholders that represent the communities that they serve, including donors, funders, and survivors. The nonprofit board of directors will generally represent their varied constituency and make decisions based on these multiple interests.” This section includes resources for and about nonprofit boards, particularly boards of state coalitions and domestic and sexual violence agencies.
