Starting a nonprofit organization? Here are 20 things you should do to make SURE your 501c3 charitable organization will be a success! #Nonprofit #Nonprofits #SocialEnterprise

I now work full time for the nonprofit I started many years ago with no money. I’m often asked how to start a nonprofit organization and for my lessons learned in the process. These 20 tips cover some top strategies for fundraising and raising money for your new charity, branding, recruiting board of directors members, and more.

If you are starting a nonprofit, thinking about it, have just started a nonprofit, or know someone who is trying to start a nonprofit, I hope this helps!
