Difference between revisions of "Non-Profit Directors (Societies Act FAQs)"

Remuneration for being a director means that the non-profit is paying a fee to the director for coming to meetings and doing the duties of a director. It is common in the business context but not in the non-profit world. A non-profit can pay a director expenses arising from their duties, but most non-profits do not pay directors for being directors.

Remuneration for being a director also does not include remunerating a director for performing work for the non-profit unrelated to their duties as a director, such as paying a director to cater an event. However, this would require the director to declare a conflict of interest and not vote on the board consideration of the contract. The board can then decide to waive the conflict and enter into the contract for services with the director.
