To be true
to our beliefs: respectful, honest, transparent and fair. |
To be thought leaders,
transforming cutting edge ideas into tangible actions. |

||||
Integrity: | |||||||
If your nonprofit organization accepts government funding and
public donations, it is crucial that the company remains beyond
reproach. Not only must the company pursue honorable initiatives,
but it must conduct business in a way that is honest, transparent
and ethical. In order to further define what integrity means in the
context of your company, consider drafting a Code of Ethics for all
directors and officers to approve and acknowledge. |
|||||||
Innovation: | |||||||
Show the world that you are not only pursuing something important,
but that you are doing it well. A core value of excellence could
mean that you cultivate and train your staff. It could mean that you
set tangible benchmarks for your organization and that you routinely
succeed them. However you define excellence, demonstrate that have
the skills and commitment to accomplish your mission. |
|||||||
Partnership: | |||||||
No nonprofit organization exists in a vacuum; the most successful
ones collaborate with other agencies and partners in their
community. An organization can accomplish more if it attempts to
complement the existing resources available in the community rather
than duplicate them. Solidify this practice by making it a core
value. You can list the specific types of organizations that you
partner with or talk generally about how the nonprofit company fits
into the larger community. |
