FAQ: Background Screening for Nonprofits
Should nonprofit organizations spend the money on background checks for employees and volunteers or are the free volunteer background checks good enough?
A: That âfreeâ search may be risky. Many organizations find it hard to imagine that trolling the Internet for information on an applicant could put their nonprofit at risk. Yet there are potentially costly risks, including claims alleging discrimination or breach of privacy.
An untrained manager may discover information on an applicant during an unofficial employment background screening that cannot be used in determining an applicantâs eligibility. While most nonprofit leaders are well aware of the prohibition on asking an applicant about medical conditions and family status when similar information is discovered in an online query it may seep into the process of evaluating the applicant. This could expose the nonprofit to allegations of disparate treatment under Title VII or other civil rights laws.
What is âban the boxâ, and how does it affect background checks for non-profit organizations?
A: Thereâs been unprecedented scrutiny over the use of criminal history and credit records by state legislatures and growing popularity for âban the boxâ laws and policies. According to the National Employment Law Project, â30 states and more than 150 cities and counties have adopted what is widely known as âban the box’â laws (See https://www.nelp.org/publication/ban-the-box-fair-chance-hiring-state-and-local-guide/).
These laws are intended to prevent the knee-jerk, early disqualification of applicants based on the stigma of a criminal record. Advocates believe that including a âboxâ inquiring about prior criminal history on an application for employment unnecessarily limits employment opportunities and impairs the societal goal of rehabilitating ex-offenders.
However, in some situations criminal background checks for nonprofits make sense. For example, if volunteers or employees are going to work with children.
Why should a nonprofit have a volunteer screening process in place?
A: A growing number of nonprofits are considering the use of background checks for their volunteer screening process. Common motivations for considering nonprofit organization corporate background checks as a screening tool include fear of lawsuits alleging negligent hiring, changing expectations of stakeholders and the perspective of insurance providers that background checking is a minimum risk management requirement.
If you have employees, nonprofit organization background check services for employers may also apply.

Because an employee has greater access to your resources, they are 15 times more likely than a non-employee to steal from you. This loss lessens your competitive edge; it also threatens to put you in the one-third of all business failures that happen due to employee theft.
