Guiding Principles for Nonprofit Performance 360 Magazine

SynerVision Leadership Foundation publishes Nonprofit Performance 360 Magazine as one of our many resources for leaders in the nonprofit sector. Leadership is generic and belongs to everyone without exception. We utilize the following guiding principles in making decisions on content:

  1. We do not take positions with politics or religion – if we share a story from one political or religious leader, then we share a story from a person representing a contrasting perspective. We do not take political or religious positions and opinions. We discuss leadership and organizational development.
  2. We care about all humanity with a spirit of equity and inclusion.
  3. We include authors from business and nonprofit leadership and share business systems for nonprofits to install into their organization.
  4. We only publish evergreen information which is why we don’t date the magazine. The information is timeless.
  5. We publish special issues from time to time on themes of importance to our target audience – nonprofit leaders and clergy.
  6. While we reserve the right to publish articles on our platforms, the author retains ownership of that content.
