Writing a statement of work for nonprofit

A nonprofit statement of work needs to describe the actual work. In the example used here, the team is carrying out the community program delivery and producing the program delivery and accountability pack. The document makes the intended outcome and the people responsible visible before the work moves to its next stage.

The workflow includes program planning, volunteer orientation, outcome review. These steps create different information needs: the program manager needs enough detail to coordinate the work, while the volunteer coordinator needs a clear basis for review. The editable sections let you record those responsibilities without starting from an empty page.
