Hi Katie. Our governance committee is currently working on a policy. It may be a month or two before it is firmed up. Please feel free to contact me in September to ask about it if you haven't found one by then.

We use Board Effect, a portal specific to non-profit organizations. I have been using it since 2018 and I really love it. Their service and integration into the system is exceptional!

Hi Sara. We use Board Effect. It is specific to non-profits and is more affordable than some out there. I have used it since 2018 and really love it for my board packages as well as the library for content for our board members. Their support and service is exceptional!

Yes Jessica, definitely. We use Canada Helps as well and have figured out a system in our office. I do some of the entries for this and may be able to help. I am working from home today but will be in the office all next week.

We have migrated from Income Manager. Our contract bookkeeper has done an amazing job at getting our data over to CSUITE and helping make…
