About this title

Book Description:

Starting & Building a Nonprofit explains in detail how to start a nonprofit that is both effective and sustainable, and can continue doing its good work even if the founders move on. It is written for people who are passionate about a cause, but may not know the first thing about the legal structure of nonprofits or how to manage them. It explains from A to Z how to organize people, money and resources legally and strategically, in line with the unique rules governing nonprofit organizations in the US.

From the Author:

I work with and am inspired by countless passionate people who work for causes beyond themselves. Quite often, their drive and motivation gets slowed down or stuck by lack of understanding some of the legal and organizational details of the nonprofit structure. I wrote this book to help free people to do their good work and allow their efforts to flourish.
