IOWA Principles and Practices for Charitable Nonprofit Excellence

The purpose of the Iowa Principles and Practices for Charitable Nonprofit Excellence is to promote good management practices, ethical conduct, and public accountability for Iowa charitable nonprofit organizations as they perform their crucial community services. The Iowa Principles and Practices for Charitable Nonprofit Excellence recognize that good organizational practices are primarily implemented through education and self-regulation. The Principles and Practices are not regulatory. While many of the Principles and Practices will be helpful to all nonprofits, they are specifically written for 501(c)(3) organizations. The Iowa Principles and Practices for Charitable Nonprofit Excellence are intended to be primarily an educational process designed to improve efficiency and accountability. Iowa is enriched by the great diversity of kinds of nonprofits, and it is recognized that the implementation of these Principles and Practices will take different forms and occur at different levels given the resources of the nonprofits. A “Principle” is a broad statement of ethical or managerial directions for a charitable nonprofit. A “Practice” is a description of a method to achieve the principles. Practices follow the related Principles.
