Abstract
This study explores governance challenges in small not-for-profits (NFP), and identifies resources and potential strategies to address these challenges. The study’s primary motivation is that while all organisations need effective governance, small NFPs receive less governance research and resources than their circumstances and social contribution warrant. This study reviewed existing governance resources, and conducted several geographically dispersed focus groups with directors and CEOs of small NFPs (less than $10 million revenue). While the study found little research and guidance specific to small NFP governance, it also found evidence small NFPs face distinctive governance challenges.
