Learning Lab, 2nd floor

Starting a nonprofit can seem terrifically complicated–is it worth it?  This class can help you decide.

In this session you’ll learn the legal and logistical elements necessary to start a successful nonprofit. You’ll also learn about possible alternatives to starting your own nonprofit that you may not have considered. Finally, you’ll be introduced to a tool that will help you assess your own readiness to move forward.

Upon completion of this course you should be able to:

•    Outline the steps required to start a nonprofit

•    Assess the alternatives to starting a nonprofit

•    Complete the nonprofit startup assessment tool to determine where you are in the startup process and identify the next steps you should take

•    Access additional resources to help you in your journey

This class is brought to you in partnership with Candid, a nonprofit that helps other nonprofits serve their communities. As a Candid community member, we offer Candid’s key tools including GuideStar and Foundation Directory. Our patrons can access GuideStar to research local nonprofits to support and to find services. Nonprofits seeking funding can also access Foundation Directory to find and connect with funders.
