Sit down with our Coordinator who will help you sort out what’s next. If we can’t help, let us find out who can.
Interested in starting a nonprofit organization? We provide information to help you decide and prepare. Let us guide you through the process with a consultation called “501(c)3; To Be or Not to Be.”
Let our Coordinator facilitate your Strategic Plan, teach the Ten Basic Responsibilities of a Board or the role of the board in Fundraising. Set aside up to six hours on a Saturday and learn how the board can better drive the mission.
