Thirty-three principles for good governance and ethical practice from the panel on the nonprofit sector convened by independent sector -- pt. 2. Putting principles into action. 330 $aIn 2004, Senators Grassley and Baucus requested that Independent Sector, the major trade organization for nonprofits in the US, convene a panel to recommend actions to strengthen nonprofit governance and ethical standards. They expressed concern that current laws and guidelines failed to hold tax-exempt organizations accountable. After embarking upon an industry collaborative, Independent Sector's advisory panel issued a report in October 2007, highlighting 33 principles it recommended nonprofits adopt. The report was overwhelmingly welcomed by the nonprofit sector, but the daunting challenge of implementing these principles remains. Advancing Nonprofit Stewardship Through Self-Regulation points the way forward for nonprofits by identifying specific strategies for implementing Independent Sector's principles. It also urges other researchers and practitioners to create competing strategies of implementation to give nonprofits choice. This lucid and brief guidebook shows how organizations can navigate demands for increased accountability and transparency through constructing and executing improved bylaws while creating a setting of integrity and trust. It is essential reading not only for all US nonprofits but for NGOs facing similar challenges around the world. 606 $aNonprofit organizations$xMoral and ethical aspects$zUnited States 606 $aNonprofit organizations$zUnited States$xFinance 606 $aNonprofit organizations$zUnited States 615 0$aNonprofit organizations$xMoral and ethical aspects 615 0$aNonprofit organizations$xFinance. 615 0$aNonprofit organizations 676 $a658/.048 700 $aCorbett$b Christopher$f1951-$01681465 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910808827003321 996 $aAdvancing nonprofit stewardship through self-regulation$94050890 997 $aUNINA
