Guarantee Founder's Long Term Control of Canadian Nonprofit & Charity

This episode explains challenges to founder control in standard non-profit structures where all members typically have voting rights.

It then presents two main solutions involving different membership classes to mitigate this challenge.

The first solution proposes a structure where only board members are voting members, ensuring they control board appointments. The second involves multiple classes of members.

These strategies enable founders to maintain influence over the non-profit's direction and board composition without worry of losing control of the nonprofit or charity.
