Nonprofit boards are, without question, most effective when they're structured around the organization's goals. If a foundation's mission is religious -- as it is for about half of all nonprofits -- the board must interpret its roles and responsibilities accordingly if it is to function properly. Faith & Governance, a first-ever look at a board's crucial role in a religious nonprofit, is a comprehensive, practical handbook for any religious organization. From congregations and seminaries to soup kitchens, hospital chains, and social service agencies, this guide examines both the nature and nurture of religious boards. Interfaith in scope and brimming with real-life examples, it skillfully demonstrates how a religious board can escape common problems, and how it can use the full depth of the organization's mission to help it best fulfill its intended purpose.
