Starting a nonprofit? Do this first #501c3 #charity

Are you looking to start a nonprofit organization? In this video, I'm breaking down the steps you need to consider when starting your nonprofit. I'm going to talk about the idea and development phase, which is the first step. Many people go straight for the paperwork, but I recommend working on your idea first. I'll discuss the different sections you need to consider and how to go about getting your nonprofit status. Tune in to learn more! #nonprofit #startup #ideadevelopment #nonprofitstatus #organization

It is indeed important to have at least a skeleton when starting this promise. However you don't want to have analysis paralysis. If you do that you will never start!
I watched your videos for 2-3 years before I actually did anything but I had to make that step and make that leap of faith!
With that said it would have been vitally important to have some sort of skeleton and idea thought out and written on paper, team of officers board members etc flushed out and committed people open to invest their time money and resources at least time and resources at least.

I deffenitly want to get the plan of operation and goals established first. Get something solid and a thoroughly thought out end goal before reaching out to local companies, sponsors, and grants. Figure why would someone finance something that they cant clearly see the end result and vision of the non profit. Thanks for this little tip! Be exciting to get this community recreation area started!

This is great advice. I like how you worked backwards. Thank you for sharing.

I learned that ago. You have to create a viable business first even if in hobbyist status before deciding on a legal structure. There's so much required as a NFP and grant funding doesn't just fall out of trees, you have to be working a business and working it well. That's not to say you've made a profit, just that you're working your business and it's forward moving

I did new hat fundraisers at my high school 20+ years ago so I could drop them off at the children’s hospital I was treated at when I went for my checkups. The kids were always so appreciative. I want to start doing that again but it’s been a long time & I’m not just a high schooler anymore. I had to stop bc my health issues have been keeping me too busy but I’m starting to be somewhat better & want to start doing it again. (I had cancer as a kid & was paralyzed from the waist down bc the tumor was on my spine. I suffer with severe nerve damage pain & CRPS pain. Basically been sleeping for 20 years bc the pain was so severe, I was on fentanyl! Only got off that a year & a half ago. I was told I might never walk again but thankfully I can walk with a cane, when the pain isn’t too severe.)
Do I have to start a charity or can the donations be considered fundraiser’s? Anyone who knows, I’d appreciate any advice! Thanks!😘💋🎗️
