Board Member - Statement of Expectations Template

Give your nonprofit board a clear, two-way agreement about what members will contribute and what the organization will provide. 

This editable, two-page template gives your nonprofit a practical starting point for a conversation about expectations. It covers meeting participation, financial oversight, conflicts of interest, confidentiality, fundraising, and respectful board relationships. It also spells out what the organization commits to provide, from orientation and timely meeting materials to regular updates and access to leadership.

Replace the bracketed prompts with your organization’s details, adjust the commitments to fit your board, and review the final statement together before signing.

What you’ll receive: An editable Microsoft Word document (.docx) with spaces for organization details, board terms, custom expectations, and signatures.
