Building/Running a Successful Not-for-Profit

Description

Wondering how to start and run a successful not-for-profit corporation? This in-person workshop will get you started on the right path.

Although a non-profit corporation faces most of the same challenges as any business, there are several special considerations for operating a not-for-profit. Although such corporations are often called non-profits, ultimately they need to be csh-flow positive.

Participants will learn how to:

When a non-profit might be better than a for-profit
Why bother with a non-profit
Simple steps to legally structure and register a non-profit
Recruit a board that helps you achieve your dreams
Maintain compliance and avoid common pitfalls
Don't ignore the accounting and finance aspects
Sources of funds including research and source grants
Getting to the people who need your services
