In partnership with the National Council of Nonprofits’ Safety Initiative and the Nonprofit Association of Oregon, Coeus Global offers discounted background checking and screening services for NAO’s Nonprofit Members. 

Screening of paid staff and volunteers is required for many nonprofits. The customized services provided by Coeus Global will allow your nonprofit to effectively conduct screenings of paid staff and volunteers, track your applicants’ background checks, and make the best decisions about who to hire/engage. 

Why are background checks important? A vital part of any volunteer management or hiring process, criminal background checking and screening help to: 

  • Place the best possible candidate 
  • Enhance your organization’s effectiveness through greater productivity and retention 
  • Supplant your organization’s loss prevention efforts and provide a safer environment for employees, volunteers, and clients 

What is involved in a background check? Generally, background checks go back seven years and explore address, criminal, employment, and education history, as well as other areas such as motor vehicle and sex offenses, anti-terrorist activity, drug screening, professional licensure, and other federal criminal and civil records. 

Value 

On average, NAO 501(c)(3) Nonprofit Members save 62% on standard background screening options. 

Coeus Global clients receive a sample screening policy, as well as compliance and risk management consulting
