Duties of a Vice President in a Nonprofit Organization

Working with the board of directors and other senior executives of the organization, the vice president plans, develops and enforces policies and objectives for the organization to ensure it maintains its values and meets established goals.
Management
Under the direction of the president, a nonprofit vice president manages board members, partnes and the day-to-day activities of the organization. This includes developing responsibilities for the staff, hiring volunteers, developing and mentoring staff, as well as ensuring the organization accomplishes tasks to meet its overall goals.
Engagement
Because most nonprofit organizations rely on donations from the community and individuals interested in the organization success, the vice president creates public awareness initiatives and ensures the organization is visible to the community and those interested in assisting the foundation. This may include assigning staff members to coordinate fundraisers, community events and other programs to create responsiveness to the organization.
Financials
Financial responsibilities include overseeing and maintaining the financial budgets for the organization. This includes ensuring the organization is compliant with state and federal guidelines as a nonprofit organization, allocating funds for each department and ensuring the financial stability of the organization.
