The MA Office of Attorney General Non-Profit Organizations / Public Charities Division (Division) recently published an updated Guide for Board Members of Charitable Organizations (Guide). The Guide has been a valuable resource for charities and their boards statewide for many years. The updated Guide demonstrates the Division’s renewed focus on certain aspects of fiduciary oversight and operation of Massachusetts charities. Focus areas include duty of allegiance to mission, conflict of interest policy and procedures that are closely aligned with the IRS requirements and emphasis on diversity and term limits as key to keeping vital. We strongly recommend you share this Guide with your board and management Please contact us with any questions or concerns arising from this revised Guide.
