Description

Charities make a huge impact on our lives. So, charitable board members, staff, and volunteers need to understand some of the legal obligations intended to protect charitable assets and those who rely on the sector's critical services. Charitable University is a new program from the Ohio Attorney General’s Office that provides training in key areas, including board governance, governmental filings and recordkeeping, financial activities, and fundraising. 

The curriculum from the online Charitable University program will be presented to area charitable leaders, who will receive completion credit for the program, and their names will be listed on the Attorney General’s web page as an acknowledgment of their commitment to learning about their important roles as sector leaders. 

Beth Short, Director of Charitable Outreach and Education for the Ohio Attorney General's Charitable Law Section, has spent her career working for and with nonprofit organizations.

She brings a background in journalism, legislative and public affairs, and training, complemented by a master’s in business with a focus on nonprofit management. Her work in the Charitable Law Section focuses on developing strategies to strengthen the nonprofit sector.
