Free Nonprofit Templates
Ready-to-use documents for governance, legal compliance, and donor relations. Built to meet IRS standards and best practices. No login required, no paywalls.
Every nonprofit needs solid governance documents. These templates are free, verifiable against IRS guidance, and actually usable. We don't lock them behind email gates, but we do ask for your email below, along with your fiscal year end, so we can remind you of filing deadlines and send you updates when templates change. Trust is the whole foundation of this site.
Board Meeting Minutes
Legally required record of board decisions. Minutes protect your organization during audits and court challenges.
View templateConflict-of-Interest Policy
Donors and grant-makers expect this. The IRS Form 1023 literally asks if you have one.
View templateDonation Receipt
IRS Pub 1771 requires written acknowledgment for gifts of $250+. We show you what to include.
View templateBylaws Checklist
Don't use generic bylaws (they often contradict state law). This checklist guides you to state-specific ones.
View templateNever miss your 990 deadline
Tell us your fiscal year end and email. We'll send the First 90 Days checklist as a PDF now, and remind you before your Form 990-N is due each year (miss three years in a row and the IRS revokes your status automatically).
No spam. A few genuinely useful emails a year, and you can leave anytime.
