WHAT EARLY STEPS CAN HELP ASSURE THE SUCCESS OF YOUR NONPROFIT?

Starting a 501 (c)(3) charitable organization has many pitfalls. Starting a nonprofit is different than starting a business, however good management is key to the success of both.  Making your nonprofit succeed requires sound planning, and there are many questions that you need to answer before your start.  What papers do you need to file and where?  What records should you keep?  How are you going to fund your organization? 

WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU FIRST START BY READING OUR GUIDE TO NONPROFIT STARTUP* and then attend our seminar below. Our interactive guide to nonprofit startup can be found at the following link:

 * Many nonprofit organizations start out as an informal organization. Your nonprofit can continue with programs and activities informally (without any special requirements or need to file paperwork) as long as revenues do not exceed $25,000 per year and the organization does not employ anyone.
