Principles & Practices for Nonprofit Excellence in Kentucky

Kentucky Nonprofit Network’s Principles & Practices for Nonprofit Excellence in Kentucky tools provide Kentucky-specific information on the legal requirements for operating a nonprofit organization, as well as information on recognized nonprofit management best practices.

These tools were created with the belief that stronger, more effective nonprofits can provide improved services to clients and constituencies, strengthen Kentucky communities, and enhance organizational experiences for current and future generations of nonprofit leaders. These positive changes will result in a more respected and influential nonprofit sector that receives greater support from all stakeholders. Originally launched in 2012, the tools were revised and re-released in a 2019 second edition.

 The Principles & Practices tools exist to:

Provide organizations striving for excellence with specific tools for planning and refining operations

Support the growth and quality of the nonprofit sector in Kentucky

Increase public understanding of the role and contributions of the nonprofit sector
