Growth without rootedness is destructive….
Relying on “doing good” without best practices won’t produce sustainable fruit for seasons to come. Our work is rootED in best practices called the Standards for Excellence. ® The Standards for Excellence®: An Ethics and Accountability Code for the Nonprofit Sector (the code) evaluates principles of honesty, integrity, fairness, respect, trust, responsibility, and accountability in nonprofit program operations, governance, human resources, financial management and fundraising.
The standards set a high benchmark going beyond the minimum legal requirements for any nonprofit by outlining how well-managed and responsibly governed nonprofits should operate. When you work with rootED, you can grow with confidence knowing that your organization is tied back to a set of standards that produce growth and provide the tools necessary to strengthen your organization.
Are you ready for growth?
“I’ve got a lot of problems with you people. Now, you’re going to hear about it.” This line from the Festivus Seinfeld episode may be my favorite of all time. I am not sure what this says about me, but I admit, my internal dialogue can sometimes be very unholy and unsanctified. What I really want to do is join Frank with the “airing of grievances.”
