Free Nonprofit Policy Templates

Ready-to-start policy templates for nonprofits — download free or import directly into ClearPolicy to collect staff and volunteer signatures.

Good policies protect your nonprofit, your staff, your volunteers, and the people you serve. But writing them from scratch is time-consuming — and most nonprofits don't know where to start.

These templates are designed specifically for nonprofits. Each one is clear, readable, and ready to be adapted to your context. Download the Word document to customize and print, or import directly into ClearPolicy to start collecting electronic signatures in minutes.

Getting signatures is the hard part. We made it easy.

Having a policy is step one. Making sure every staff member and volunteer has read and signed it is step two — and that's where most nonprofits get stuck.

ClearPolicy is policy acknowledgment software that lets you import any of these templates with one click, send signature requests to your entire team, and track who's acknowledged what — all without spreadsheets or chasing people down.

  • No login required for signers
  • Automatic reminders for non-responders
  • Audit-ready records with timestamps and electronic signatures
  • Free for 30 days — no credit card required
