National Board Governance Survey for Not-for-Profit Organizations

What are not-for-profit organizations doing – or not doing – in the face of declining revenues, growing governance and disclosure expectations, and closer scrutiny from regulators and donors? Since 2003, Grant Thornton’s National Board Governance Survey for Not-for-Profit Organizations has examined the governance of not-for-profit organizations in order to learn how they are handling these increased demands.

Participate in the 2012 Board Governance Survey.

Find out how your organization's governance, risk management and board management strategy compares to similar not-for-profits. Your answers to this brief online survey will provide valuable insight into how not-for-profits are managing through the current economy as well as how your board members perceive the issues of today's challenging economic situation versus how your management team perceives them. Your response will also give us insight into how your organization is revising the board's focus due to the ever-evolving business environment.

It should take no more than 15 minutes to complete this survey. You do not have to be a Grant Thornton client to participate in this survey. We also invite you to forward this survey to your board colleagues and the senior management of your not-for-profit organization.
