Nonprofit Employment Contract Generator

This Employment Contract is between the Employer, a nonprofit organisation pursuing charitable, social, educational, or community objectives, and the Employee. The organisation operates within a governance framework that includes a board of trustees or directors, and is subject to regulatory oversight from the relevant charity or nonprofit regulator. Staff roles span programme delivery, fundraising, communications, finance, and operational management.

Employment is permanent from the Start Date under applicable employment law. This contract is the complete agreement. The Employee acknowledges that nonprofit employment carries a duty of stewardship over donated funds and public trust, and that the organisation's mission takes priority over commercial considerations.

Working in the nonprofit sector involves balancing limited resources with ambitious impact goals, engaging with diverse stakeholders including beneficiaries, donors, volunteers, and statutory bodies, and operating transparently in line with the organisation's values.

A three-month probation period applies. The Employer evaluates the Employee's competence in their role, alignment with the organisation's mission and values, ability to work within budget constraints, and effectiveness in engaging with the beneficiary community, donor base, or partner organisations as their role requires.

Statutory notice applies during probation. A review at six weeks covers the Employee's progress against initial objectives, understanding of the organisation's programmes and funding model, compliance with safeguarding policies where applicable, and contribution to the team's collaborative working culture.

Permanent employment follows successful probation. Extension may apply if the Employee's role is grant-funded and requires alignment with a specific project evaluation cycle, or if they are completing a sector-specific qualification.
