> fiduciary obligations to the non-profit

What fiduciary obligations does a non-profit have? Isn't the board pretty successful already at not making money?

Fiduciary obligations need not be profit-seeking. They often - perhaps especially - involve keeping the lights on for the chartered company.

Fiduciary isn't about money, it's about the best interests of the non-profit they are governing. If staying on the board means a harm to the goals of the non-profit charter, then they have a duty to resign.
