Organizational Support Tool
BoardTrust is designed to help nonprofit organizations organize governance materials, track board activity, and maintain governance records. It is an organizational support tool and not a compliance certification, legal review, audit service, or substitute for professional judgment.
Not Legal, Tax, Accounting, or Compliance Advice
Nothing provided through BoardTrust — including templates, checklists, policy samples, governance scores, status indicators, reminders, summaries, or other content — constitutes legal, tax, accounting, audit, or professional compliance advice. Use of the platform does not create an attorney-client, accountant-client, consultant-client, or other professional advisory relationship.
Templates and Checklists Are Starting Points
Templates, forms, disclosure documents, checklists, and sample governance materials made available through the platform are general starting points based on commonly accepted nonprofit governance practices. They are not guaranteed to be suitable for every organization, jurisdiction, tax status, governance structure, or operational model. Organizations should review and customize these materials before adoption or use and, where appropriate, consult qualified legal, tax, accounting, or governance professionals.
Governance Scores and Status Indicators
Governance health scores, completion percentages, reminders, and status indicators reflect the information entered into the platform and are provided for organizational visibility only. They do not constitute a legal determination, formal compliance review, audit result, or certification that an organization complies with any law, regulation, filing obligation, fiduciary standard, or governance best practice.
User Responsibility
Each organization remains solely responsible for reviewing, approving, adopting, maintaining, and using its governance documents, policies, records, and practices in a manner appropriate to its governing documents, applicable law, tax status, and operational needs.
Seek Professional Guidance
BoardTrust is intended to support governance organization and continuity. Matters involving legal rights, regulatory obligations, tax treatment, fiduciary duties, filings, investigations, employment issues, donor restrictions, or other organization-specific risks should be reviewed with appropriate professional advisors.
