About this title

Synopsis

A successful nonprofit organization needs more than a good idea and enthusiastic volunteers. It needs careful planning, realistic goals, and sustainable financing. With The Everything Guide to Starting and Running a Nonprofit with CD, nonprofit advisor Jim Goettler walks you through each step of the process. Learn how to take an idea from a grassroots group to a federally recognized nonprofit organization. This book features information on:

• The differences and similarities between organizations and corporations
• Forming the initial board of directors and filing incorporation documents
• Attracting the best volunteers and staff members
• Using publicity and community outreach to raise money
• Turning a for-profit organization into a nonprofit one

A bonus CD includes sample documents needed for any new nonprofit: articles of incorporation, bylaws, budgets, and IRS nonprofit status applications and instructions. With these tools, you'll be able to turn your dreams and passions into a thriving nonprofit organization.
