Principles & Practices

With help and guidance from Michigan’s Management Support Organization (MSO) Network in addition to many leaders of the nonprofit, government and private sectors, the Michigan Nonprofit Association has developed Principles & Practices for Nonprofit Excellence in Michigan to assist Michigan’s charitable organizations in building capacity while enabling them to demonstrate accountability and transparency.

Principles & Practices Publications

Michigan Nonprofit Association recognizes that good organizational practices are primarily implemented through education and self-regulation. Thus, Principles & Practices for Nonprofit Excellence in Michigan is intended to serve as an educational resource to improve the efficiency, transparency and accountability of Michigan charitable organizations.
