Sample Document Retention Policy

The IRS 990 form indicates that “[a] document retention and destruction policy identifies the record retention responsibilities of staff, volunteers, board members, and outsiders for maintaining and documenting the storage and destruction of the organization’s documents and records.” This is a sample which could be customized to your organization’s needs.
