Developing good standards and practices in Alberta nonprofits benefits our communities.

It is important to run your organization effectively. There is lots of information out there and you have a lot to focus on in your day-to-day. Sometimes the best place to start is with a credible and straight forward guide – a step-by-step resource, a checklist, a workbook – to help you figure out what you need to move forward.

We provide a variety of resources for Alberta’s nonprofit sector because we believe that sharing applicable knowledge will grow your ability to develop good standards and practices for your organization.

These guides will help you employ new staff and volunteers, start a nonprofit organization, learn how to screen volunteers, work with corporations, engage your board, and much more!
