In the digital age, sharing and publishing images has become an integral part of nonprofit storytelling. However, this seemingly simple act carries with it intellectual property (IP) and privacy considerations that can significantly impact individuals and organizations. Whether using photographs taken by a volunteer, artwork from a paid artist, or pictures generated by AI, it's crucial to ensure lawful and ethical use of images. In this article by Creighton Frommer of RELX, we provide guidelines and considerations for responsible image use.
Whether your nonprofit is ready to hire its first employee or is looking for a new payroll service, nonprofit leaders should be aware of both general and nonprofit payroll compliance considerations. In this episode of the PBPA Podcast, Kadale Lubin will talk to us about legal requirements to efficiently manage payroll. This foundational understanding of payroll compliance is a primer for new nonprofits and a reminder of best practices for seasoned employers.
Navigating Conflicts of Interest in Nonprofits
Effective governance policies are crucial for every nonprofit, and a Conflict of Interest (COI) policy is especially important. Board directors and other key personnel in nonprofits are often busy with personal and business activities, which can lead to the board unintentionally failing to recognize potential conflicts of interest. Even with an existing COI policy, many nonprofits may not fully understand the scope, proper use, and compliance requirements of the policy.
During this one hour webcast, our speaker will:
- Explain what a COI policy should include;
- Review when and how an organization should use its COI policy; and
- Discuss a variety of scenarios to help viewers better understand how to define and navigate conflicts.
