The manual is designed for leaders, staff and individuals presently working in or interested in working in the nonprofit sector and who play a role in managing or implementing activities relating to delivering on their organisations vision and mission by outlining some basic standards of best practices. Small and medium sized organisations will find the manual useful to their operations. Large nonprofits may also find some part of the manual useful to reaching higher standards. Regardless of the size of their operations, number of staff or thematic focus, the manual is developed to be assessable to all who work in the nonprofit sector to understand rules, regulations and processes organisations need to address day-to-day operation requirements of starting, managing and sustaining a not-for-profit organisation.
