Executive Director Employment Contract - Template ($500 Value)
($500 Value) An attorney created this tool based on the template I have used so that any executive director in any state could review it and adapt it to their state.
Every nonprofit executive director must protect their income, family, and career with an employment contract. This contract is designed to protect an executive director from being fired without cause or from losing their job by no fault of their own.
Buy this, and then have an attorney in your state adapt it to your situation. Protect yourself today!
It is in everyone’s interest that the executive director have a contract. Organizations experience more stability when contracts are in place and it removes uncertainty from some negotiations…because the contract is all spelled out.
After getting my master’s degree and serving multiple stints as an executive director I had heard too many horror stories. A friend of mine gave me his employment contract which stood up in court. I used that template form myself and for this product.
Upon downloading the executive director contract template, review every word. It is very pro-worker and so you may want to alter some of the strong protections for the ED. You will also want to consult an employment attorney in your state to modify this document to suit your state law.
The contract includes key features like:
-The executive director’s terms of employment
-Severance (what are the terms of departure if either party severs)
-What if there is a material change to the ED role (like the board diminishing the power and authority of an ED) or the organization moves out of state or closes?
-All this and more is covered in this contract.

Providing this sample contract is for informational and illustrative purposes only. Please consult an attorney in your own state when entering into legal agreements. – The Nonprofit Fixer

Roz Gould Keith, Executive Director - Stand with Trans
“I hired Sean for help with Board development and recruitment, overall non-profit guidance, fundraising. The benefits to working with Sean are His knowledge and expertise in the non-profit arena, Familiarity with LGBTQ work, Resources available to us while working with him. We ran a FB fundraiser for 21 days and 6-8 active fundraisers and we brought in $18,000. Wow. Really from the beginning - the knowledge that was brought to us in invaluable. Providing the tools for us to reach our goals and get stuff done is so helpful to me as an ED with one employee. Do it. He has a huge network of people, a wealth of resources and is overall a really nice guy.”
