Your Nonprofit Compliance Checklist

Protect your organization. Protect your funding. Protect your mission.

Nonprofit compliance is about more than filing an annual Form 990. Governance gaps, weak financial controls, grant-management mistakes, poor documentation, and unclear internal responsibilities can create legal and financial risks that directly affect an organization’s ability to sustain its mission.

The Price of Noncompliance: Nonprofit Legal & Compliance Toolkit is a practical, attorney-developed resource created by Kyara Ofuani, Esq., Founder & Managing Attorney of Ofuani Legal Group, LLC, to help nonprofit leaders identify potential compliance gaps, strengthen internal systems, and determine where their organizations may need additional attention.

Originally developed as the companion workbook for The Price of Noncompliance: How Legal Missteps Quietly Cost Nonprofits Their Funding, this interactive toolkit is designed to be used beyond the conference room. It can serve as a starting point for conversations with your executive team, board, finance department, grants team, and legal counsel.

Inside the toolkit, you’ll find:

• A nonprofit governance health check
• Restricted and unrestricted funding review
• Fiscal and grant-compliance checkpoints
• Document-readiness assessment
• Legal compliance framework covering governance, tax and regulatory compliance, financial management, grants, employment/HR, and public accountability
• Compliance pulse check
• Legal response protocol for when something goes wrong
• 30/60/90-day executive action plan
• Questions to take back to your board, finance team, leadership, and counsel

Best for: nonprofit founders, CEOs and executive directors, board members, CFOs and finance leaders, grant professionals, program leaders, consultants, and other professionals responsible for nonprofit governance and compliance.
