Page 4 - Washington Nonprofit Handbook 2018 Edition

Publisher’s Note

Wayfind would like to give special thanks to lead editors, Judy Andrews and Joanna
Plichta Boisen, for partnering with Wayfind on the revision of the Washington
Nonprofit Handbook (July 2018 edition). Content, integrity and writing quality were
ensured because of Judy and Joanna’s knowledge and dedication to this project.
We would also like to thank Willa Osborn, Pro Bono Fellow at Foster Pepper for her
time and editing skills to make sure that all of the chapter references and links were
accurate.

Wayfind would also like to acknowledge Washington Nonprofits for their on-going
partnership with Wayfind to develop high quality learning tools, including the
Washington Nonprofit Handbook. The Introduction to the Handbook, was based

on the Starting a Nonprofit toolkit, authored by Nancy Bacon, Director of Learning
and Engagement at Washington Nonprofits. Along with Nancy, Laura Pierce,
Executive Director, provided critical input to the Washington Nonprofit Handbook.
We are grateful for their ongoing support and commitment to the nonprofit sector.

Finally, Wayfind would like to thank the Washington Office of the Secretary of State,
Corporations and Charities Division, for its support in developing educational tools
like the Handbook and for its commitment to creating a thriving environment for
nonprofit organizations in our state. Resources like this one make a meaningful
difference in the nonprofit sector and beyond.
