Publishing Policy for Nonprofits

Your mission depends on trust. A publishing policy shows donors, communities, and the public exactly what standards you hold your communications to.

Build Your Policy

Why You Need One

Donor trust without documentation

Your donors fund your mission based on what you publish. Without stated publishing standards, your impact reports and appeals rest on assumed credibility.

Advocacy and information blurring

Your organization publishes research, opinions, and calls to action. Your audience deserves to know which is which.

Impact reporting credibility

Funders and evaluators increasingly scrutinize how nonprofits communicate outcomes. Published standards preempt those questions.
