Transparency & Accountability

Nonprofits have an ethical and legal obligation to their constituents and the public to conduct their activities in a transparent and accountable manner.

Nonprofits should regularly and openly convey information to the public about their mission, activities, accomplishments, and decision-making processes.

Information should be easily accessible to the community in order to increase external visibility and public understanding of the organization in order to ultimately build trust in the organization.
