Conflict of interest, made practical. In three pages.
Conflicts are normal. Hidden ones are the problem. The COI Quick Start gives your board or team one simple process to use every time: disclose, step out, let others decide, write it down. It's free when you join Out the Box, ToyBox's monthly letter.
Three pages your board will actually read.
Built for nonprofits, co-ops, associations, small businesses and public commissions. Not just nonprofits.
Why conflicts come up in every organization, the four-step process, and a 60-second check to see where you stand.
The eight questions to ask once a year, what to do when a conflict comes up, sample minutes language, and the coffee rule for gifts.
A week-by-week plan to get a policy, a form and a habit in place this month, and how to get help if you want it.

Want a quick read on your own board first? Try the free conflict of interest self-check. The Quick Start is a practical starting point, not legal advice. Conflict of interest rules can be legal requirements; talk with an attorney about your organization's obligations.
