To see the benefits of GovernWell to your particular organization, just answer 3 questions:

NOT-FOR-PROFIT, NO OFFICE/STAFF, NO FILE SHARING

Not-for-Profit, No Office/Staff, No File Sharing

As a not-for-profit with no office/staff and volunteer directors that constantly change over time, having a secure, cloud-based repository of all critical corporate records that is easily accessible to all current and future Directors avoids a multitude of problems that can occur when records are temporarily stored in volunteer Directors’ office, garage, or basement and digital records are scattered across multiple personal computers.

Having a smart repository of all critical corporate information that keeps track of all the required corporate administration activities and proactively reminds (both visually and by email) when things need to be done provides volunteer Directors with peace of mind and allows them to focus on the mission of the organization.

Storing volunteer Directors personal information on a cloud-based platform is much more secure than maintaining Directors personal information in various word processing and spreadsheet documents on personal computers and regularly sharing these files by email.

When volunteers leave a Board of Directors, they no longer have a multitude of corporate documents and records on their personal computers that may not be deleted appropriately leaving it open to future security risks.

A GovernWell corporate office in the cloud provides your organization with a stable “institutional memory” through the constant change of volunteer Directors.

NOT-FOR-PROFIT, SOME STAFF/OFFICE, NO FILE SHARING

Not-for-Profit, Some Staff/Office, No File Sharing

For a not-for-profit with an Executive Director and perhaps a few other staff, and likely some office space, corporate administration is not the most valuable use of their time and likely not their area of expertise.

A smart repository that keeps track of all the required corporate administration information and activities and proactively reminds staff when things need to be done allows them to focus on the mission of the organization without anything being overlooked or forgotten.

Providing new and existing volunteer Directors on the Board direct access to all the critical corporate information and records without having to make requests of staff saves time that can be better used.

Having a secure, cloud-based platform for the corporate entity and the Board of Directors that is separate from the computers, networks and file sharing that staff use for day-to-day operations provides a helpful “boundary” between the governance of the organization and its operations. Volunteer Directors’ personal information is securely stored separate from the operational systems greatly enhancing its security. Not all staff have access to all the Board of Directors personal information and meeting materials, and Directors do not have access to too-much detail and information about operations.

For volunteer Directors, email updates and a visual dashboard provides peace of mind that their duty of care to manage the corporate entity is being fulfilled.
