Nonprofit Governance Foundation Review℠
A structured, consultant-led review of your articles of incorporation and bylaws against federal law, Florida's newly effective HB 797, and 30+ years of Florida nonprofit governance experience. Not legal advice. Leadership clarity for your board.
Schedule Your Governance ReviewMost Nonprofit Boards Aren't at Risk
Because They're Careless.
They're at risk because nobody currently on the board has read the documents that govern it.
"Our bylaws were written before half our current board members were even involved with the organization."
"We heard Florida changed nonprofit law this year. We have no idea if it affects us."
"We think our conflict of interest policy exists somewhere. Nobody has actually seen it in years."
Five Outcomes. Real Clarity.
Every engagement produces a result your board can act on immediately, not a document that sits in a drawer.
A Clear Compliance Picture
Every provision in your governing documents scored against federal, Florida, and best-practice standards, so you know exactly where you stand.
Findings Prioritized by Real Consequence
Immediate, 30 Days, 90 Days, or Next Review Cycle. Your board knows what to fix first and what can wait.
A Board-Ready Findings Report
Written for board members, not lawyers. Clear, prioritized, and free of jargon.
A Board Presentation Your Committee Can Use
Walk straight into your next board or governance committee meeting with a ready-made deck.
A Clear Line Between Governance and Legal Work
Every finding is marked as something JHC can guide you through directly, or something that needs your attorney's signature. You will always know which is which.
A Five-Phase Review Built for Nonprofit Boards
The same phase discipline behind the Nonprofit Strategy Accelerator℠, scaled to a focused governance review.
Document Collection
We send an intake checklist. You provide your articles, bylaws, policies, recent board minutes, and IRS determination letter.
Three-Layer Compliance Scan
Every provision is scored against federal and IRS requirements, Florida Chapter 617 and HB 797, and JHC governance best practices.
Internal Consistency Check
We check your documents against each other, and against how your board actually operates in practice.
Gap Analysis and Priority Matrix
Findings are organized by urgency, so your board knows exactly what to act on first.
Deliverables
A board-ready Findings Report and Board Presentation, with every finding marked as a governance fix or an attorney-review item.
One Flat Price. No Surprises.
Pairs naturally as a first step before the Nonprofit Strategy Accelerator℠: a board cannot build durable strategy on a governance foundation nobody has checked.
Your Board Deserves to Know Where It Stands.
Most boards inherit governing documents nobody has read in years. Florida HB 797 means the new rules are already applying, whether anyone has checked or not. Find out exactly where you stand before it becomes a problem.
