Dear Amber, I personally I lack words to use in recognizing your effort in delivering this noble content. Infact you're the best Orator I have ever seen you deserve to be a lecture I have a feeling you can deliver well to the students. I have enjoyed well and am moved to say I am ready to move on with the search for my 9 Year old project that is in the refugee camp.

I'm not sure if I can adequately express how grateful I am that you made this video. I am a retired disabled veteran and for over 20 years I have dreamed about putting together a program to address a critical need in the veterans community. Every time I have tried to revive this project I run into the same two roadblocks that have shut me down every time. First, people seem to think it takes a huge personal cash investment to start a nonprofit. Second, they think you need at least a masters degree in nonprofit business administration plus 10 or more years experience.

I'm also going to binge watch your videos and try to get a few other veterans I served with to do the same.

Your 100% correct Amber. Great video. I am going to subscribe to hear more of your content.

When you receive any form of federal funding, IRS audits are very strict, can last 1-3 months. And often times, you need a separate dedicated staff member as you stated that understands all funding regulations, policies, and compliance procedures and guidelines or a few current staff members cross trained and well versed on government funding. There are a lot of documents required to obtain the funding, manage, administrate, and to maintain the funding. Having a solid administrative infrastructure and process of financial viability, accountability, and management is key. Taking grant writing classes is essential to have an overall understanding regardless of the key staff member or staff members put in place. And there are professional & proven grant writing companies for hire for specific industries also.

The only thing I would add, specifically as it relates to women, minorities, and disadvantaged businesses, becoming certified is a good in road to getting in front of points of contact within corporations, government, state, & local agencies and to become more familiar and involved with organizations and key staff of organizations, to be placed on those agency, donor, foundation, and corporate funding lists. Also, paying for corporate sponsorships to events, gets you in the room to network, meet, and speak to other corporate sponsors that are in the habit of donating to non profits & causes.
