Webinars for Wise Nonprofits: NDAs for Nonprofits: Understanding Confidentiality Agreements

Nonprofit organizations encounter non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) in a wide range of contexts, including prospective partnerships, grant and funding discussions, service-provider and consultant relationships, mergers and collaborations, employment matters, and other strategic transactions. NDAs can help protect sensitive organizational information to be shared with another party, but organizations should understand their terms and implications before signing or issuing one. This webinar provides an overview of NDAs, including common use cases for nonprofits, key confidentiality provisions, legal and practical considerations before entering into an NDA, and strategies for managing organizational risk.

Learning Objectives: Participants will learn when nonprofits should consider using NDAs, gain familiarity with how NDAs are typically structured and standard NDA terms, and recognize issues to discuss with legal counsel before entering into a confidentiality agreement.

For nonprofit executives, senior management, contract managers, and other staff responsible for organizational operations, contracting, and risk management.

Presenters: Bonnie Kalos Bye, Legal Counsel, and Tara Knapp, Legal Counsel
